Function

CA1A_CONVC Alpha-conotoxins act on postsynaptic membranes, they bind to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) and thus inhibit them. This synthetic peptide (produced without hydroxyproline, nor 4-carboxyglutamate) is a neuronal nAChR antagonist that acts as a powerful analgesic. It blocks nAChRs composed of alpha-3 or -5/beta-2 (IC(50)=7.2 uM), alpha-3/beta-2 (IC(50)=7.3 uM), alpha-3/beta-4 (IC(50)=4.2 uM), alpha-3 or -5/beta-4 (IC(50)<30 uM), alpha-4/beta-2 (IC(50)<30 uM), alpha-4/beta-4 (IC(50)<30 uM) and alpha/beta/gamma/delta (IC(50)<30 uM) subunits.^[1] ^[2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Several Conus-derived venom peptides are promising lead compounds for the management of neuropathic pain, with alpha-conotoxins being of particular interest. Modification of the interlocked disulfide framework of alpha-conotoxin Vc1.1 has been achieved using on-resin alkyne metathesis. Although introduction of a metabolically stable alkyne motif significantly disrupts backbone topography, the structural modification generates a potent and selective GABAB receptor agonist that inhibits Cav2.2 channels and exhibits dose-dependent reversal of mechanical allodynia in a behavioral rat model of neuropathic pain. The findings herein support the hypothesis that analgesia can be achieved via activation of GABABRs expressed in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons.
