Answer:

The correct answer is - Venom enzyme inhibitors.

Explanation:

The snake venoms are the complex mixtures of phospholipase A2s, disintegrins, serine proteases, C-lectins, and metalloproteases, and others. The snake venom phospholipase A2s (svPLA2s) enzymes found in most of the families of venomous snakes that cause anticoagulant effects, cardiotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and cytotoxicity, and other effects.

In antivenom, there are Venom enzyme inhibitors other than antibodies that help in neutralizing these enzymes by weakening or inhibiting these toxic actions.
