Abstract
Molluscs are marine animals that protect themselves in shells or live freely. Some are poisonous, causing serious human poisoning and even deaths due to the neurotoxic action of substances called conotoxins, which induce the blockage of synaptic receptors and cause myorelaxant muscular paralysis, causing respiratory arrest between forty minutes and five hours after contact. The objective of the manuscript was to verify the constitution of mollusk venom and its therapeutic possibilities (Phylum: Mollusca). The present work uses the reference of bibliographical research, understood as the act of inquiring and seeking information on a given subject, through a survey carried out in national and foreign databases, to detect what is consensus or controversial. The articles in indexed scientific research, book scientific chapters, these banks, university dissertations, national and international scientific articles, scientific journals, documents, and the academic and scientific journals available online, ResearchGate, HAL, SSRN, Scielo, and Qeios.
Keywords: neurotoxic, predatory, radula, substances, therapeutic
