Characterization, antimicrobial and antitumor activity of superoxide dismutase extracted from Egyptian honeybee venom (Apis mellifera lamarckii)

Abstract: Background Superoxide dismutase is an important antioxidative stress enzyme which is found in honeybee venom and has a wide pharmaceutical and medical applications. Results We reported the purification and characterization of venom SOD from Egyptian honeybee Apis mellifera lamarckii and termed BVSOD. It was purified to homogeneity from the Egyptian honeybee venom. The purification procedures included crude extraction, DEAE-cellulose anion exchange … Show more

“…After incubation, the positive antibacterial effect of the pigment was observed as clearance in the wells, while compounds that didn't influence the bacteria appeared opaque in the wells. The absorbance was measured after 20 h at OD 600 in a Spectrostar Nano Microplate Reader (BMG LABTECH GmbH, Allmendgrun, Germany) [26], [27].…”

“…This is due to the well-documented diverse biological activity of this most expensive bee product. In particular, evidence has been obtained of its antimicrobial action against both bacteria (including antibiotic-resistant strains) and pathogenic fungi [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ]. The therapeutic effect of the external use of apitoxin in the treatment of wounds [ 24 , 25 ] as well as skin diseases [ 26 ] is largely associated with antimicrobial activity.…”

“…Both BV as a whole and its individual components demonstrate anti-cancer activity [ 10 , 13 , 23 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Cancer diseases are the main cause of death in the population, and many of their forms are characterized by high malignancy, metastasis, and resistance to chemotherapy [ 34 ].…”

“…As drug resistance spreads worldwide, antibiotics are becoming less effective, leading to increased challenges in treating infections and higher mortality rates. Urgent development of new antimicrobial agents is necessary to combat resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections [1][2][3][4]. Over the past decade, nanotechnology has made significant advancements and is undergoing rapid development as a multidisciplinary scientific field.…”
