It is known that snake venom is very poisonous and can be fatal if not
treated in time. However, scientists say that it can also be used to treat
many other diseases such as thrombosis, arthritis and cancer.Now, a new study by Indian scientists has shown that drugs derived from
snake venom agents may work to prevent and treat neurological disorders
such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology (IASST), Institute of
Guwahati, Department of Science and Technology (DST) Director – Prof.
Ashish Kumar Mukherjee, his team conducted a study on snake venom and
discovered this. Worked on developing drug prototypes for various
biomedical applications. But it is still in research phase.
According to scientists, they can be turned into patient life-saving drug
prototypes for cancer, cardiovascular diseases and COVID-19. They
discovered the possibility that nerve growth factor is derived from snake
venom.
