Globular and ribbon isomers of Conus geographus α-conotoxins antagonize human nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

Biochemical Pharmacology, 2021
The short disulfide-rich α-conotoxins derived from the venom of Conus snails comprise a conserved CICII(m)CIII(n)CIV cysteine framework (m and n, number of amino acids) and the majority antagonize nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs).

Medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, and therapeutic potential of α-conotoxins antagonizing the α9α10 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.

Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2020
α-Conotoxins are disulfide-rich and well-structured peptides, most of which can block nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) with exquisite selectivity and potency. There are various nAChR subtypes, of which the α9α10 nAChR functions as a heteromeric

Facile synthesis of sulfotyrosine-containing α-conotoxins.

Organic and biomolecular chemistry, 2020
α-Conotoxins (Ctx) can selectively target distinct subtypes of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), which are closely related to a number of neurological diseases, and they have been considered as ideal probes and model peptide drugs ...

α-Conotoxins to explore the molecular, physiological and pathophysiological functions of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

Neuroscience Letters, 2017
The vast diversity of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine subunits expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, as well as in non-neuronal tissues, constitutes a formidable challenge for researchers and clinicians to decipher the role of ...

Intrathecal α-conotoxins Vc1.1, AuIB and MII acting on distinct nicotinic receptor subtypes reverse signs of neuropathic pain.

Neuropharmacology, 2012
The large diversity of peptides from venomous creatures with high affinity for molecules involved in the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain has led to a surge in venom-derived analgesic research.

Dissecting oxidative folding of conotoxins using 3D structures of cysteine mutants predicted by AlphaFold 3: A case study of α-conotoxin RgIA, χ-conotoxin CMrVIA and ω-conotoxin MVIIA-Gly.

Toxicon
The ability of AlphaFold 3 to accurately predict the 3D structure of polypeptides has been explored to investigate the oxidative folding steps of conotoxins.
