SNX-482, a peptide, is a potent, high affinity, selective and voltage-dependent R-type CaV2.3 channel blocker with an IC50 of 30 nM. SNX-482 has antinociceptive effect[1][2][3]. | [Biological Activity]
SNX-482 is a peptidyl toxin originally isolated from the venom of the spider Hysterocrates gigas. SNX-482 specifically blocks Cav2.3 (a1ER-type) calcium channels in a voltage dependent manner. SNX-482 also blocks P/Q-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channels and blocks A-type K+ channels (IC50 of <3 nm). | [in vivo]
SNX-482 (0.5-4 μg/5 0μL; applied directly onto the spinal cord; 14-17 days post-operation) in the spinal nerve ligation (SNL) rat model dose - dependently inhibits nociceptive C-fiber and Aδ-fiber-mediated neuronal responses, and the responses to non-noxious mechanical and thermal stimuli are more sensitive in SNL rats than in sham - operated rats[3]. | Animal Model: | Male Sprague-Dawley rats (initially weighing 130-150 g) + Spinal nerve ligation[3] | | Dosage: | 0.5 μg/50 μL, 1.5 μg/50 μL, 4 μg/50 μL | | Administration: | Applied directly onto the spinal cord, 14-17 days post-operation | | Result: | Exerted a significant dose-related inhibitory effect on C-fiber evoked responses, Aδ-fiber responses, post-discharge and input measurements.
Inhibited the "wind-up" of neurons. |
