“…Another dose of CORM-2, 20 mg/kg, was justified if 10 mg/kg was unsuccessful in diminishing venom activity, as up to 30 mg/kg of CORM-2 in a murine model of acute kidney injury was well tolerated and protected against injury [ 35 ]. CORM-2 doses that result in no toxicity in vivo vary a great deal, with values as small as 5 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg depending on the species [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 ]. As has been demonstrated with several venoms and venom enzymes, it is the ruthenium radical of CORM-2 that presumably binds to key amino acid residues, such as histidine, to inhibit activity [ 53 ].…”
