Pharmacological characterisation of the highly Na(V)1.7 selective spider venom peptide Pn3a

Human genetic studies have implicated the voltage-gated sodium channel Na(V)1.7 as a therapeutic target for the treatment of pain. A novel peptide, μ-theraphotoxin-Pn3a, isolated from venom of the tarantula Pamphobeteus nigricolor, potently inhibits Na(V)1.7 (IC(50) 0.9 nM) with at least 40–1000-fol...
