Conotoxins are sulfur-rich peptide toxins isolated from marine cone snails. These compounds exhibit high specificity for voltage-gated ion channels and neurotransmitter receptors. The core production involves synthetic peptide assembly or recombinant expression. A representative example is Mu-conotoxin GIIIA (CAS: 127658-09-3), with the molecular formula C44H74N18O14S8.
Strictly store at -20°C in lyophilized form to maintain stability. Handling requires PPE due to high biological potency. Clinical translation remains limited to investigational stages pending rigorous safety validation.
