ProTx-III

ProTx-III, new selective Nav1.7 blocker

ProTx-III，新的选择性Nav1.7通道阻断剂

ProTx-III (µ-TRTX-Tp1a; belongs to NaSpTx family 1) has been isolated from the venom of the Peruvian green-velvet tarantula Thrixopelma pruriens at the University of Queensland (Australia). ProTx-III has been described to be a selective inhibitor of Na_v1.7 with an IC50 value around 2 nM. The synthetic version of Tp1a produced by Smartox yields similar results in terms of Na_v1.7 inhibition (see Figure 1). Queensland scientists have described that ProTx-III induces no significant changes in the voltage dependence of activation or steady-state inactivation of Na_v1.7. ProTx-III also inhibits Na_v1.1, Na_v1.2 and Na_v1.6 at nanomolar concentrations and does not affects Cav channels and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. ProTx-III demonstrates analgesic propertiesin vivo when injected intraplantary in mice prior treatment with OD1, an activator of Na_v1.7, which induces spontaneous pain.
