A novel α-conopeptide Eu1.6 inhibits N-type (Ca(V)2.2) calcium channels and exhibits potent analgesic activity

We here describe a novel α-conopeptide, Eu1.6 from Conus eburneus, which exhibits strong anti-nociceptive activity by an unexpected mechanism of action. Unlike other α-conopeptides that largely target nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), Eu1.6 displayed only weak inhibitory activity at the α3...
