Scorpion sting envenoming in Saudi Arabia posed major public health problems. Conventional treatment with antivenom with its limitations and hazards called for the use of support remediation like prazosin therapy and phytotherapy as alternative solutions in systematic medicine and a trend of use in medicinal plants. The present study is aiming to procure the medicinal plants that exhibit antidotes of scorpion stings which, were scientifically ignored in Saudi Arabia. Current study data of 11 rare and endangered medicinal plants were collected identified up to the family level, in addition to the parts used. The Family Leguminosae was represented by 4 species. The families Acanthaceae, Amaranthaceae, Annonaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Myrtaceae, Plumbaginaceae, and Zygophyllaceae, were represented with a single species each. All of them have got medicinal ability of antidote potential against scorpion venoms. These commonly used herbs that belonged to 8 families were similar in the use of all parts in treatment. This review study may assist the researchers recruiting new natural herbs and their active products as therapeutic agents against scorpion envenoming. However, these medicinal plants are still requiring pharmacological and phytochemical investigations in order to be claimed as effective antidotes in scorpion envenoming syndrome.

濒临灭绝的沙特阿拉伯植物具有人类植物学证据作为蝎毒的解毒剂

在沙特阿拉伯毒蛇般的毒刺引起了重大的公共卫生问题。抗蛇毒草素的传统治疗方法有其局限性和危害性，它要求使用佐剂如prazosin疗法和植物疗法作为系统医学中的替代解决方案，并且有在药用植物中使用的趋势。本研究旨在采购具有蝎毒解毒剂的药用植物，这些药物在沙特阿拉伯被科学忽略。除所使用的部分外，目前还收集了11种珍稀和濒危药用植物的研究数据，这些植物鉴定到家庭水平。豆科家族有4种。棘皮科，A菜科，番荔枝科，大戟科，桃金娘科，铅皮科和霸王科分别具有一个物种。它们都具有针对蝎毒的解毒潜力。这些属于8个科的常用草药在所有部位的使用方面都相似。这项综述研究可能会帮助研究人员招募新的天然草药及其活性产品作为抗蝎毒的治疗剂。但是，这些药用植物仍需要药理和植物化学研究，才能被认为是蝎毒综合症的有效解毒剂。
