Conopeptide characterization and classifications: An analysis using ConoServer

open access: yesToxicon, 2010
Cone snails are carnivorous marine gastropods that have evolved potent venoms to capture their prey. These venoms comprise a rich and diverse cocktail of peptide toxins, or conopeptides, whose high diversity has arisen from an efficient hypermutation mechanism, combined with a high frequency of post-translational modifications.

Overexpression, purification, and pharmacological activity of a biosynthetically derived conopeptide [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2005
A high yielding fusion protein system based on the protein cytochrome b(5) has been used for the production of novel 13-residue acyclic conopeptide. This peptide, Mo1659, can be liberated from the carrier protein using CNBr cleavage and subsequent purification using RP-HPLC methods. The yield of isotopically enriched peptides is high, ranging from 3 to

Therapeutic Potential of Conopeptides

Future Medicinal Chemistry, 2012
Conopeptides from the venoms of marine snails have attracted much interest as leads in drug design. Currently, one drug, Prialt(®), is on the market as a treatment for chronic neuropathic pain. Conopeptides target a range of ion channels, receptors and transporters, and are typically small, relatively stable peptides that are generally amenable to ...

Neuroanatomical distribution of receptors for a novel voltage-sensitive calcium-channel antagonist, SNX-230 (ω-conopeptide MVIIC)

open access: yesBrain Research, 1994
Neuronal voltage-sensitive calcium channels (VSCCs) are a diverse family of proteins that regulate entry of Ca2+ into neurons. Selective antagonists of VSCCs have proven to be powerful pharmacological tools for identifying and characterizing these ...

A novel µ-conopeptide, CnIIIC, exerts potent and preferential inhibition of NaV1.2/1.4 channels and blocks neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, 2012
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The µ-conopeptide family is defined by its ability to block voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs), a property that can be used for the development of myorelaxants and analgesics.
