(Levantine Viper)

–

The Underexplored Goldmine

A. Key Bioactives & Mechanisms

• Lebetin Peptides:

  • Lebetin 1: Potent antiplatelet therapy (binds GPVI collagen receptor).

  • Lebetin 2: Anticancer effects via angiogenesis inhibition (VEGFR-2 blockade).

• SVMPs (Snake Venom Metalloproteinases):

  • Lebetase: Fibrinolytic enzyme with 2x higher clot dissolution than batroxobin (Algeri et al., 2021).
