A peek inside bee venom: Review on its pharmacological action

Abstract

Bee venom is a chemical and biological composition of proteins, peptides, enzymes, and other compounds. Peptides mainly melittin, mast cell degranulating peptide (MCD), apamin found in bee venom can be used to treat a wide range of diseases, from cancer and chronic pain to neuromuscular and other disease conditions. We discussed Bee venom components and their uses in human illness treatment in this paper. Bee venom has been proven to have potential impacts on a variety of diseases, opening up new avenues for medication development. The findings in Homoeopathic literature are supported by a recent investigation on the active components of Apis mellifica and their pharmacological effects. As possible medication candidates in the therapy of human ailments, we summarise Bee venom's properties and detail its components and application in this paper.
