The low molecular mass fraction from Bothrops jararaca snake venom contains proline-rich peptides (Bj-PROs), also known as bradykinin-potentiating peptides (BPPs), which were described as neuroprotective against HO-induced oxidative stress. Recently, we reported that the neuroprotective action of Bj-PRO-10c (
