The three‐dimensional structure of the analgesic α‐conotoxin, RgIA [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2008
The α‐conotoxin RgIA is a selective antagonist of the α9α10 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and has been shown to be a potent analgesic and reduces nerve injury associated inflammation. RgIA was chemically synthesized and found to fold into two disulfide isomers, globular and ribbon.

α-Conotoxin RgIA and oligoarginine R8 in the mice model alleviate long-term oxaliplatin induced neuropathy

Biochimie, 2022
Оligoarginines were recently discovered (Lebedev et al., 2019 Nov) as a novel class of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) inhibitors, octaoligoarginine R8 showing a relatively high affinity (44 nM) for the α9/α10 nAChR. Since the inhibition of α9/α10 nAChR by α-conotoxin RgIA and its analogs is a possible way to drugs against neuropathic pain ...

Molecular basis for the differential sensitivity of rat and human α9α10 nAChRs to α‐conotoxin RgIA [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, 2012
J. Neurochem. (2012) 122, 1137–1144.AbstractThe α9α10 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) may be a potential target in pathophysiology of the auditory system, chronic pain, and breast and lung cancers. Alpha‐conotoxins, from the predatory marine snail Conus, are potent nicotinic antagonists, some of which are selective for the α9α10 nAChR.

Dicarba Analogues of α-Conotoxin RgIA. Structure, Stability, and Activity at Potential Pain Targets

Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2014
α-Conotoxin RgIA is both an antagonist of the α9α10 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtype and an inhibitor of high-voltage-activated N-type calcium channel currents. RgIA has therapeutic potential for the treatment of pain, but reduction of the disulfide bond framework under physiological conditions represents a potential liability for ...

The α9α10 nicotinic receptor antagonist α-conotoxin RgIA prevents neuropathic pain induced by oxaliplatin treatment

Experimental Neurology, 2016
Oxaliplatin, a third-generation diaminocyclohexane platinum drug, is widely used alone or in combination with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin to treat metastatic colorectal, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers. Oxaliplatin long-term treatment is associated with the development of a dose-limiting painful neuropathy that dramatically impairs the patient's ...

α-Conotoxin RgIA protects against the development of nerve injury-induced chronic pain and prevents both neuronal and glial derangement [PDF]

open access: yesPain, 2014
Neuropathic pain affects millions of people worldwide, causing substantial disability and greatly impairing quality of life. Commonly used analgesics or antihyperalgesic compounds are generally characterized by limited therapeutic outcomes. Thus, there is a compelling need for novel therapeutic strategies able to prevent nervous tissue alterations ...

Interaction of rat α9α10 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor with α-conotoxin RgIA and Vc1.1: Insights from docking, molecular dynamics and binding free energy contributions

Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling, 2019
The α9α10 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) is an effective therapeutic target for neuropathic pain. α-Conotoxin RgIA and Vc1.1 are two well-known peptides blocking α9α10 nAChR potently and selectively, which have been extensively investigated as drug candidates. Several key residues were established in previous experimental research.
