:Agitoxin 2 (9CI)
Description:
Agitoxin 2 (9CI), with the CAS number 168147-41-9, is a potent neurotoxin derived from the venom of the Central American spider Agelenopsis aperta. This compound is known for its ability to selectively block voltage-gated sodium channels, which are crucial for the propagation of action potentials in neurons. As a result, Agitoxin 2 can disrupt normal neuronal signaling, leading to paralysis or other neurological effects. The substance is characterized by its high specificity for certain sodium channel subtypes, making it a valuable tool in neuropharmacology for studying ion channel function and neuronal excitability. In addition to its research applications, the toxicological properties of Agitoxin 2 raise concerns regarding its potential effects on human health and the environment. Its stability under various conditions and the mechanisms of its action are subjects of ongoing research, contributing to a deeper understanding of neurotoxic compounds and their interactions with biological systems.

CAS:<p>Agitoxin 2 is a peptide with high resistance to the proteolytic activity of various enzymes, including trypsin, pepsin, and chymotrypsin. Agitoxin 2 is a structural analogue of the acetylcholine receptor agonist carbamylcholine. It binds to the alpha subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and inhibits its activation by acetylcholine. Agitoxin 2 has been shown to be effective in animal models for autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Agitoxin 2 also has an analgesic effect in animals. The molecule's ability to inhibit the release of inflammatory cytokines may be due to its inhibition of transcription-polymerase chain reaction (PCR).</p>Formula:C169H278N54O48S8Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:4,091 g/mol
