Bioactive Mimetics of Conotoxins and other Venom Peptides
Toxins, 2015 Ziconotide (Prialt®), a synthetic version of the peptide ω-conotoxin MVIIA found in the venom of a fish-hunting marine cone snail Conus magnus, is one of very few drugs effective in the treatment of intractable chronic pain. However, its intrathecal mode

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.Biological models in nature reveal remarkable friction‐adhesion mechanisms, driven by intermolecular forces and suction. Researchers leverage these principles to design advanced materials with enhanced adhesion properties. By optimizing these materials under stimuli like light and electricity, new solutions emerge for regulating interface interactions ...

Efficient oxidative folding of conotoxins and the radiation of venomous cone snails [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 The 500 different species of venomous cone snails (genus Conus ) use small, highly structured peptides (conotoxins) for interacting with prey, predators, and competitors. These peptides are produced by translating mRNA from many genes belonging to only a few gene superfamilies.

Comparative Venomics of C. flavidus and C. frigidus and Closely Related Vermivorous Cone Snails
Marine Drugs, 2022 Cone snail venom biodiversity reflects dietary preference and predatory and defensive envenomation strategies across the ≈900 species of Conidae. To better understand the mechanisms of adaptive radiations in closely related species, we investigated the ...

Characterization of the venom of the vermivorous cone snail Conus fulgetrum [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2016 Abstract Over 200 components with molecular mass ranging mainly from 400 to 4000 Da were characterized from the venom of the vermivorous cone snail Conus fulgetrum that inhabit Egyptian Red Sea. One major component having a molecular mass of 2946 Da was purified by HPLC, and its primary structure was determined by a combination of Edman ...
