Venoms of cobras (<i>Naja</i> spp.) contain high abundances of cytotoxins, which contribute to tissue necrosis in cobra envenomation. The tissue-necrotizing activity of cobra cytotoxins, nevertheless, indicates anticancer potentials. This study set to explore the anticancer properties of the venoms and cytotoxins from <i>Naja sumatrana</i> (equatorial spitting cobra) and <i>Naja kaouthia</i> (monocled cobra), two highly venomous species in Southeast Asia. The cytotoxicity, selectivity, and cell ...[more]
