Product Description
Ziconotide acetate (SNX-111 acetate) is a bioactive peptide that is a potent and specific antagonist blocker of N-type calcium channels. Ziconotide acetate reduces synaptic transmission and may be used in chronic pain research.
Ziconotide acetate (SNX-111 acetate) is a peptide that is a potent and selective blocker of N-type calcium channels. It reduces synaptic transmission and can be used for chronic pain research. Ziconotide acetate has a molecular formula of C104H176N36O34S7. It is a synthetic version of a peptide originally found in the venom of the marine cone snail Conus magus. Ziconotide acetate is a clinically approved analgesic for severe chronic pain.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
N-type calcium channel
Ziconotide acetate targets N-type voltage-gated calcium channels. By blocking these channels, the compound reduces calcium influx into neurons, thereby decreasing neurotransmitter release at synapses. The N-type calcium channels are located on the primary afferent neurons in the pain pathway. By blocking these channels, Ziconotide acetate produces potent analgesic effects. The compound's high selectivity for N-type channels over other calcium channel subtypes contributes to its therapeutic efficacy.
ln Vitro
Ziconotide acetate only partially suppresses high-voltage-activated calcium currents in differentiated human neuroblastoma IMR32 cells, rat superior cervical ganglion neurons, and rat hippocampus neurons because most native cells have a range of distinct calcium channels. Additionally, ziconotine acetate decreases calcium currents that arise from HEK cells, tsa-201 cells, and Xenopus laevis oocytes expressing the α1B subunit[1]. By limiting the production of pronociceptive neurotransmitters in the spinal cord's dorsal horn, ziconide acetate inhibits the transmission of pain signals, which is how it exerts its antinociceptive action[1].
In vitro, Ziconotide acetate is a potent and selective blocker of N-type calcium channels. It reduces calcium currents that result from expression of the α1B subunit in HEK cells, tsa-201 cells, and Xenopus laevis oocytes. In most native cells, Ziconotide acetate only partially reduces high-voltage-activated calcium currents due to the presence of multiple calcium channel types. The compound reduces synaptic transmission by inhibiting neurotransmitter release. Standard in vitro assays include patch-clamp electrophysiology on cells expressing N-type calcium channels and measurement of neurotransmitter release.
ln Vivo
In a mouse model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), ziconotate (it; 25-100 pmol/site; 5 μL; on the 4th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and 24th days) acetate decreases IL-1β and IL-23 levels in the CNS and splenic production of IL-17 25 days after MOG35-55-elicited EAE[2].
In vivo, Ziconotide acetate is used clinically as an analgesic for severe chronic pain. It is administered intrathecally (into the spinal fluid) to bypass the blood-brain barrier and achieve local effects in the spinal cord. By blocking N-type calcium channels on primary afferent neurons, the compound reduces synaptic transmission and produces potent analgesia. Ziconotide acetate is approved for the treatment of severe chronic pain in patients who are intolerant or refractory to other treatments.
Enzyme Assay
For non-cell-based receptor binding assays, Ziconotide acetate can be evaluated using membrane preparations from cells expressing N-type calcium channels (α1B subunit). Radioligand binding displacement experiments are performed using a radiolabeled conotoxin or other N-type channel ligand. Membrane homogenates are incubated with increasing concentrations of the test compound and a fixed concentration of the radioligand at appropriate conditions. Bound radioligand is separated from free by rapid filtration. Nonspecific binding is determined in the presence of excess unlabeled ligand. IC50 values are calculated from displacement curves using nonlinear regression analysis.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cellular assays, cells expressing N-type calcium channels (e.g., HEK cells expressing the α1B subunit) are cultured in appropriate media. Patch-clamp electrophysiology is performed in voltage-clamp mode to record calcium currents. Cells are treated with various concentrations of Ziconotide acetate, and the reduction in calcium current amplitude is measured. IC50 values are calculated from concentration-response curves. For neurotransmitter release assays, synaptosomes or neuronal cultures are treated with the compound, and neurotransmitter release is measured using biochemical or electrochemical methods.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Female C57BL/6mice (18-22 g, 6- 8 weeks old) injected with myelin oligodendrocytes glycoprotein[2]
Doses: 25 pmol/site, 50 pmol/site, 100 pmol/site
Route of Administration: Intrathecal injection; on the 4th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and 24th days
Experimental Results: Dramatically decreased the mechanical hypersensitivity in animals with EAE.
For in vivo animal studies, Ziconotide acetate is typically administered intrathecally to rodents. In pain models (e.g., formalin test, hot plate test, neuropathic pain models), nociceptive responses are measured following compound administration. The compound's analgesic efficacy is assessed by comparing responses in treated and control animals. Pharmacokinetic studies involve measuring compound concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma. Dosing regimens vary depending on the specific model and desired exposure levels. Ziconotide acetate is administered intrathecally in clinical settings.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Ziconotide acetate is a peptide with a molecular formula of C104H176N36O34S7. It is administered intrathecally for the treatment of severe chronic pain. The compound is a potent and selective blocker of N-type calcium channels. It reduces synaptic transmission by inhibiting neurotransmitter release. The compound is available for research use only and is a controlled substance. It should be stored according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Ziconotide acetate includes potential neurologic and psychiatric adverse effects due to its mechanism of action in the central nervous system. Common adverse effects may include dizziness, nausea, confusion, and gait disturbances. The compound is a controlled substance and is only available for research use or under strict clinical supervision. Standard toxicological evaluation would include assessment of neurologic, psychiatric, and cardiovascular effects. The compound is not for human consumption outside of approved clinical use.
