alpha-Conotoxin AuIB (trifluoroacetate salt)

alpha-Conotoxin AuIB is a conotoxin that has been found in C. aulicus and has receptor antagonist and analgesic activity. It is a peptide antagonist of alpha3beta4 subunit-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs, IC50 = 0.75 µM). It is greater than 100-fold selective for alpha3beta4 subunit-containing nAChRs over those containing alpha2beta2, alpha2beta4, alpha3beta2, alpha4beta2, alpha4beta4, or alpha1beta1gammadelta subunits but does inhibit homomeric alpha7 nAChRs by 34% at 3 µM. Intrathecal administration of alpha-conotoxin AuIB (0.2 and 2 nmol/animal) reduces mechanical allodynia in a rat model of neuropathic pain induced by partial sciatic nerve ligation. It also reverses somatic signs of withdrawal in a mouse model of morphine withdrawal when administered intracerebroventricularly at doses of 1.75 and 3.5 pmol/animal.Formal Name: cyclic (2->8), (3->15)-bis(disulfide), glycyl-L-cysteinyl-L-cysteinyl-L-seryl-L-tyrosyl-L-prolyl-L-prolyl-L-cysteinyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-alanyl-L-threonyl-L-asparaginyl-L-prolyl-L-alpha-aspartyl-L-cysteinamide, trifluoroacetate salt.
