Coagulation disorders are a primary symptom of envenomation caused by snakes belonging to the genus Bothrops. In the Northeast region of Brazil, the species Bothrops erythromelas and Bothrops leucurus are the main responsible for snakebite accidents. Due to the specific action of Bothrops venoms on several components of the coagulation cascade, the objective of this work was to characterize the coagulotoxic profile of B. erythromelas and B. leucurus venoms and the neutralizing potential of bothropic antivenom, considering that their venom are not used in the production of antivenom. Regarding the clotting components targeted by the venom of these species, B. leucurus samples had higher thrombin-like activity and ability to activate prothrombin, while the activation of Factor X was comparable between these two species. B.erythromelas and B. leucurus venom displayed α- and β-fibrinogenolytic activities, with the former presenting higher overall fibrinogenolytic activity. In contrast, B. erythromelas venom showed greater procoagulant activity on human plasma, assessed through the coagulation time induced by the venom samples and thromboelastometry. Bothropic antivenom inhibited the procoagulant potential of B. leucurus venom better than B. erythromelas. However, the ability of the antivenom to neutralize this activity is lower compared to that determined for the venom of B. jararaca, which is used for antivenom production. The results shown herein describe the procoagulant activity of B. leucurus and B. erythromelas venoms and highlight the differences regarding their procoagulant capacity on human plasma, contributing to a deeper understanding of the pathophysiology of the envenomation caused by these species.
