Scorpion venom is a biological substance that has attracted significant attention in medical and scientific research worldwide and contains promising compounds for the treatment of various diseases and offers benefits in various medical and biotechnological fields thanks to the peptides and proteins it contains and offering promising results in the treatment of many diseases when used correctly and carefully.
However, due to its high toxicity, its storage and use require special attention. With the advancement of scientific research, scorpion venom is expected to play a more significant role in new and effective treatments. Although commonly considered a “poison,” scorpion venom is actually a complex chemical mixture that has both harmful and potentially beneficial effects.
Some components found in scorpion venom can target cancer cells and inhibit their growth, and research is underway for the treatment of neurological diseases such as epilepsy and multiple sclerosis, contains some components that regulate the immune system, and some substances derived from scorpion venom can be used to combat bacterial and fungal infections.
Clinical trials of a drug derived from scorpion venom are showing promising results. Its high efficacy in killing damaged cells without adversely affecting healthy tissue has been established. Further research and observation are ongoing. If all development stages are successfully completed, this drug could become a revolutionary treatment for a number of serious diseases.
Areas of use
Scorpion venom is used for different purposes in various sectors such as medicine and pharmacy, biotechnology, agriculture, cosmetics.
Storage
Due to its high toxicity, it should be used with caution. Since scorpion venom is a biologically and chemically active substance, correct storage conditions must be observed: It should be stored at low temperature, protect from light, as some ingredients may be light sensitive, it should be kept in airtight containers so that it is not affected by chemical changes such as oxidation.
