Cell cycle arrest evidence, parasiticidal and bactericidal properties induced by l-amino acid oxidase from Bothrops atrox snake venom

► This paper reports the activity of BatroxLAAO in PBMC and HL-60 cells. ► BatroxLAAO could effectively trigger cell apoptosis in vitro. ► It presented the increase in distribution of cells in G0/G1 phase in HL-60 cells. ► Bactericidal and parasiticidal effects were demonstrated by BatroxLAAO.
