    摘要: Derivatives of Maurotoxin (MTX) in which the native disulfide bridge pattern (Cys3-Cys24, Cys9-Cys29, Cys19, Cys31-Cys34) has been disrupted are useful for the treatment of pathologies associated with dysfunctioning and/or activation of Ca -activated and/or voltage-gated K channel subtypes, such as IKCa1 or Kv1.2.

    摘要: Derivatives of Maurotoxin (MTX) in which the native disulfide bridge pattern (Cys3-Cys24, Cys9-Cys29, Cys19, Cys31-Cys34) has been disrupted are useful for the treatment of pathologies associated with dysfunctioning and/or activation of Ca2+-activated and/or voltage-gated K+ channel subtypes, such as IKCa1 or Kv1.2. One preferred group of derivatives is that in which one or more of the Cys residues have been replaced with ?-aminobutyrate (Abu) residues, thus breaking one or more of the four disulphide bridges. Within this group, the preferred derivative is that in which the Cys residues at position 9, 19, 29 and 34 have been replaced with a ?-aminobutyrate residues. However, the derivative in which the Cys residues at positions 19 and 34 have been replaced with (Abu) residues is excluded Another preferred group of derivatives is that in which one or two of the amino acidresidues of maurotoxin have been replaced by different amino acid residues resulting in the disulfide bridge pattern being changed to Cys3-Cys24, Cys9-Cys29, Cys13-Cys31, Cys19-Cys34. Within this group, the preferred compounds are that which the Arg residue at position 14 has been replaced by a Gln residue, that in which the Lys residue at position 15 has been replaced by a Gln residue, that in which the Arg residue at position 14 and Lys residue at position 15 have both been replaced by Gln residues, those in which neither of the residues at positions 32 and 33 is a Gly or Pro residue, and that in which the Gly residue at position 33 has been replaced by an Ala residue. Pi1 and HsTx1 derivatives with disrupted native disulfide bridge patterns are similarly useful.

    摘要: OsK1 is a 38-residue peptide with 3 disulphide bridges and is found in the venom of the scorpion Orthochirus scrobiculosus. It is potently active on voltage-gated K+ channels Kv1.1, Kvl.2 and Kvl.3, and moderately active on the type 1 intermediate-conductance Cat2+­-activated channel Kca3.1. Derivatives of OsK1, particularly involving truncation or point mutations, have been developed to enhance the activity against and selectivity for the Kvl.3 channel. This renders the derivatives likely candidates for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis. Such use may be alone or in combination therapy with maurotoxin, another scorpion toxin.

    摘要: Maurocalcine, a novel toxin isolated from the venom of the Tunisian chactidae scorpion Scorpio maurus palmatus, has the amino acid sequence GDCLPHLKLCKENKDCCSKKCKRRGTNIEKRCR (SEQ. ID. No. 1). It potently and reversibly modifies channel gating behaviour of type 1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1) by inducing prominent subconductance behavior. Maurocalcine and its bioactive structural analogues - preferably those containing the KKCKRR motif corresponding to part of the II-III loop of the alpha1S subunit of the voltage-dependent skeletal muscle calcium channel dihydropyridine receptor - appear to possess a therapeutic potential, notably as candidate immuno-suppressive drugs, and for the treatment of pathologies in humans that may involve a dysfunction of calcium channels.

    摘要: The folding/oxidation of a reduced peptide or partially reduced peptide to form a disulphide bridged peptide is effected by dissolving it in an oxidizing organic solvent, alone or in admixture with water, adding an aqueous alkaline buffer to the solution, and recovering the resultant disulphide bridged peptide. The preferred oxidizing organic solvent is dimethylsulphoxide, which is desirably used as a 10 to 50% aqueous solution. The addition of the aqueous alkaline buffer, which is preferably a 0.2 M Tris-HCI buffer, is preferably added during a period of from 5 to 90 minutes after dissolution of the reduced peptide in the oxidizing organic solvent. The method allows reduced peptides which are insoluble in alkaline conditions to be oxidized and allows reduced peptides which may form stable but inactive oxidized species if treated with dimethylsulphoxide alone to be fully oxidized.
