During studies on the pharmaco-biochemistry of bee venom it was found that it exhibited an inhibitory effect on trypsin. There are no data on the presence of proteinase inhibitors in bee venom and poisonous extracts from insects and reptiles in general. The biologically and biochemically active components of bee venom are the peptides: melittin, apamin, mast degranulating peptide, minimine and the enzymes: hyaluronidase and phospholipase A [ 1,2] . This paper present data on the isolation and characterization of the protease inhibitor in bee venom.
