Allosteric α1-Adrenoreceptor Antagonism by the Conopeptide ρ-TIA [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2003
A peptide contained in the venom of the predatory marine snail Conus tulipa, rho-TIA, has previously been shown to possess alpha1-adrenoreceptor antagonist activity. Here, we further characterize its pharmacological activity as well as its structure-activity relationships.

Current and Future Issues in the Development of Spinal Agents for the Management of Pain. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Targeting analgesic drugs for spinal delivery reflects the fact that while the conscious experience of pain is mediated supraspinally, input initiated by high intensity stimuli, tissue injury and/or nerve injury is encoded at the level of the spinal ...

α‐RgIB: A Novel Antagonist Peptide of Neuronal Acetylcholine Receptor Isolated from Conus regius Venom

open access: yesInternational Journal of Peptides, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Conus venoms are rich sources of biologically active peptides that act specifically on ionic channels and metabotropic receptors present at the neuromuscular junction, efficiently paralyzing the prey. Each species of Conus may have 50 to 200 uncharacterized bioactive peptides with pharmacological interest.

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

A Benchmark Dataset Comprising Partition and Distribution Coefficients of Linear Peptides

open access: yesDataset Papers in Science, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Peptides have a dominant role in biology; yet the study of their physical properties is at best sporadic. Peptide quantitative structure‐activity relationship (QSAR) lags far behind the QSAR analysis of drug‐like organic small molecules. Traditionally, QSAR has focussed on experimentally determined partition coefficients as the main descriptor of ...

Excitation–contraction coupling inhibitors potentiate the actions of botulinum neurotoxin type A at the neuromuscular junction

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 3, Page 564-580, February 2025.
Abstract Background and Purpose Botulinum neurotoxin type A1 (BoNT/A) is one of the most potent neurotoxins known. At the same time, it is also one of the safest therapeutic agents used for the treatment of several human disorders and in aesthetic medicine.

DESM: portal for microbial knowledge exploration systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Microorganisms produce an enormous variety of chemical compounds. It is of general interest for mi-crobiology and biotechnology researchers to have means to explore information about molecular and genetic basis of functioning of different microor-ganisms
