Evaluation of the Inhibitory Potential of Casuarictin, an Ellagitannin Isolated from White Mangrove (<i>Laguncularia racemosa</i>) Leaves, on Snake Venom Secretory Phospholipase A2

Evaluation of the Inhibitory Potential of Casuarictin, an Ellagitannin Isolated from White Mangrove (<i>Laguncularia racemosa</i>) Leaves, on Snake Venom Secretory Phospholipase A2

Ellagitannins constitute the largest group of hydrolyzable tannins of plants, and, from this group, casuarictin (Casu) was identified in some plant species. However, to our knowledge, no investigation of secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) inhibition by Casu has been performed yet. Casuarictin was is...
