PUROTOXIN 1, identified by its CAS number 1396322-38-5, is a chemical compound that has garnered attention in the field of toxicology and pharmacology. It is a peptide toxin derived from certain species of marine organisms, particularly those within the genus Pseudopterogorgia. Characteristically, PUROTOXIN 1 exhibits potent biological activity, often affecting ion channels and neurotransmitter systems, which can lead to significant physiological effects. Its structure typically includes a sequence of amino acids that contribute to its toxicity and mechanism of action. Research into PUROTOXIN 1 is ongoing, focusing on its potential applications in medicine, particularly in pain management and as a model for developing new therapeutic agents. However, due to its toxic nature, handling and usage require strict safety protocols to mitigate risks associated with exposure. Understanding its properties and effects is crucial for both scientific research and potential therapeutic applications.

Potent P2X3 receptor modulator (IC50 = 12 nM). Exhibits negligible effects on P2X2 and P2X2/3. Demonstrates antinociceptive properties in an animal model of inflammatory pain.

<p>Purotoxin-1 is a peptide that belongs to the group of activators. It is an inhibitor of potassium channels which are involved in the regulation of excitability and repolarization of cells. Purotoxin-1 has been shown to block the binding of calcium ions to the N-type voltage-gated calcium channels, leading to decreased intracellular calcium levels and reduced neurotransmitter release. Purotoxin-1 has been shown to inhibit tumor growth in vivo, which may be due to its ability to inhibit protein interactions with cell surface receptors.</p>
