Abstract: The present invention provides a novel ?-conotoxin peptide, pharmaceutical composition and use thereof. The present invention further provides a propeptide of the conotoxin peptide, a nucleic acid construct, expression vector and transformed cell of the conotoxin peptide as well as a fused protein of the conotoxin peptide. The present invention discloses a method for blocking acetylcholine receptors as well as a use of the conotoxin peptide in the manufacture of a medicament. The ?-conotoxin peptide of the present invention can specifically block acetylcholine receptor (nAChRs, such as ?3?2 nAChRs, ?6/?3?2?3 nAChR or ?3?4 nAChR or ?6/?3?4 nAChR), has activity for treatment of neuralgia, addiction, Parkinson's disease, dementia, schizophrenia, cancers, and can be used in the manufacture of a medicament for analgesia and smoking cessation and drug-withdrawal, a medicament for treatment of mental diseases and cancers, as well as a tool drug for neurosciences.
