Cat. No.: HY-120078
CAS No.: 1845753-81-2
Target:  

Phospholipase

Research Areas:  

Cardiovascular Disease

AZD2716 is an orally active secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) inhibitor. AZD2716 inhibits human GIIA sPLA2 (IC50=10 nM), human GV sPLA2 (IC50=40 nM), human GX sPLA2 (IC50=400 nM), snake venom sPLA2 (IC50=2 pM), and snake (Bothrops jararacussu) Lys49-PLA2-like toxin (Kd=110 μM). AZD2716 inhibits sPLA2 isoforms IIa, V, X, snake venom sPLA2s, and snake venom Lys49-PLA2-like toxin myotoxic activity via hydrophobic channel binding. AZD2716 suppresses GIIA sPLA2 production, neutralizes snake venom-induced myotoxicity, and improves survival in envenomed mice. AZD2716 can be used for the research of coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, and snakebite envenoming .

CAS No.: 178805-91-9
Target:  

Calcium Channel

Research Areas:  

Cardiovascular Disease

Calciseptine is a natural polypeptide toxin found in the venom of the black mamba snake (Dendroaspis p. polylepis). Calciseptine is a highly effective and selective blocker of the L-type channel of the Cav1.2 subtype, with an IC50 value of 92 nM. Calciseptine has no effect on Cav3.1, Cav2.2, Cav2.1, Cav1.1, voltage-sensitive sodium channels and potassium channels. Calciseptine exhibits negative inotropic and negative relaxant effects on mice, and does not affect heart rate or the action potential of sinoatrial node pacemaker cells. Calciseptine can be used for research on cardiovascular diseases[1].

Target:  

Cholinesterase (ChE)

Research Areas:  

Neurological Disease

Fasciculin-I is isolated from the mambas venom. Fasciculin-I exerts its toxic effects by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Fasciculin-I blocks α-neurotoxins of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and cardiac toxins that interact with cell membranes .

Cardiovascular Disease

Calciseptine TFA, a polypeptide found in black mamba venom, is a selcetive Cav1.2 L-type calcium channel inhibitor with an IC50 of 92 nM. Calciseptine TFA binds to the pore domain shoulder at repeats III and IV of Cav1.2, stabilizing an inactivated conformation. Calciseptine TFA exhibits negative inotropic and negative relaxant effects on mice, and does not affect heart rate or the action potential of sinoatrial node pacemaker cells. Calciseptine TFA can be used for the research of cardiovascular diseases .

Biotoxins, also referred to as natural toxins, are chemical substances produced by plants, animals, or microorganisms that exert toxic effects on other living organisms. Due to unique biological activities, biotoxins have been widely applied in molecular biology, physiology, pharmacology, and the clinical diagnosis and treatment of various human diseases, becoming an important source of natural drug development. Biotoxins can specifically bind to and interfere with intracellular signaling molecules or receptors, thereby altering cellular signaling processes. Leveraging this characteristic, biotoxins can be used to study the regulatory mechanisms of cellular signaling pathways. For example, neurotoxins such as snake venom peptides can be used to investigate the functional regulation of neurotransmitter receptors and ion channels. Additionally, biotoxins have demonstrated significant potential in drug development across various fields, including neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, anticoagulation, and anti-cancer therapies. With advancements in high throughput screening, structural optimization, and antibody-toxin conjugation technologies, numerous biotoxins or their structural analogs have been successfully brought to market, such as Ziconotide, Captopril, Bivalirudin, and Eptifibatide.

MCE offers 90 types of biotoxins, including neurotoxins, cardiotoxins, mycotoxins, and more.
