Efficacy and function of centipede

Efficacy of centipede: centipede is an important traditional animal medicine, which has been listed in China Pharmacopoeia continuously. Clinically, it is usually used as a whole, and specific protein peptides play important physiological functions at the right time, place and under the controllable action;

Function of centipede: Venom is used as a weapon for predation or defense. The same and similar molecules can be secreted by venom and injected into other organisms instantly, in large quantities and uncontrollably, thus playing the role of toxin predation or defense.

Extended data

According to the latest research results, the toxin protein polypeptide contained in centipede venom exists and is widely distributed in various tissues in its body. Researchers have identified more than 10 times of toxins and toxin analogues from body parts other than centipede venom glands, including more than 100 protein peptides expressed in venom and trunk, containing various neurotoxins.

The above research results not only scientifically explain the pharmacological basis of centipede, but also directly prove the effectiveness of centipede at the molecular level, and also lay the foundation for the research and development of modern innovative drugs based on centipede medicinal components.
