  • Alpha-conotoxin peptides
    Publication number: 20060247173
    Abstract: The invention relates to relatively short peptides (termed ?-conotoxins herein), about 10-25 residues in length, which are naturally available in minute amounts in the venom of the cone snails or analogous to the naturally available peptides, and which preferably include two disulfide bonds. The ?-conotoxins, as described herein, are useful for as neuromuscular blocking agents, such as muscle relaxants.

  • Cone snail peptides
    Publication number: 20050214213
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to conotoxin peptides, derivatives or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The present invention is further directed to the use of this peptide, derivatives thereof and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof for the treatment of disorders associated with voltage-gated ion channels, voltage-gated ligand channels and/or receptors. The invention is further directed to nucleic acid sequences encoding the conotoxin peptides and encoding propeptides, as well as the propeptides.
