Sumario:Some results obtained during our research work in the search of anti-snake compounds from plant origin, allow us to propose sodium dodecyl sulfate- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) as a valuable method for a fast and reliable screening in order to evaluate plant extracts activity on snake proteins from Bothrops diporus (yarará chica). Such approach will allow to process a larger number of plant extracts and to select the active ones. Venoms used in this study came from B. diporus which was previously vacuum dried. Extracts (aqueous, alcoholic and hexanic) were from native plants: Aristolochia elegans, Aristolochia gibertii, Asclepia curassavica, Cissampelos pareira, Dorstenia brasiliensis, Eclipta prostrata, Iresine difusa, Mikania micrantha, M. periplocifolia, M. coridifolia, Nectandra angustifolia, N. megapotamica, Sapium haematospermum and Trixis divaricata. The results obtained by SDS-PAGE were compared with those obtained from in vitro assays (coagulation and hemolysis inhibition). The correlation between results obtained from electroforetic and in vitro assays allowed to suggest SDS-PAGE as a suitable technique to assist in preliminary plant screenings for anti-snake activity by snake venom protein interaction with plant compounds.
