α-Conotoxin IMI (CAS NO. 156467-85-5) is a synthetic peptide toxin originally isolated from the venom of the marine cone snail, Conus imperialis. It is a 12-amino acid peptide with two disulfide bonds, forming a specific three-dimensional structure. It is a potent and selective antagonist of the α3β2 subtype of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). It is a highly specific research tool for neuroscience, neuropharmacology, and the study of cholinergic signaling, particularly in the context of pain, addiction, and neurodegenerative diseases.

1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

  • Selective Blockade of α3β2 nAChRs: It binds with high affinity and selectivity to the α3β2 subtype of neuronal nicotinic receptors, preventing the binding of acetylcholine and the opening of the receptor's ion channel. It has much lower affinity for other major subtypes like α4β2 or α7.
  • Inhibition of Cholinergic Signaling: By blocking these receptors, it inhibits excitatory neurotransmission in specific neuronal pathways where α3β2 receptors are expressed, such as in the autonomic ganglia, certain brain regions, and sensory pathways.
  • Modulation of Neurotransmitter Release: Blocking presynaptic α3β2 receptors can modulate the release of other neurotransmitters, including dopamine, norepinephrine, and GABA, influencing circuit activity.

  • 2.PRODUCT INDICATIONS

  • Neuroscience Research: Studying the specific physiological roles of the α3β2 nicotinic receptor subtype in the central and peripheral nervous systems, and differentiating its functions from other subtypes (e.g., α4β2, α7).
  • Pain Research: Investigating the role of α3β2 receptors in nociception (pain perception) and the potential of subtype-specific antagonists as novel, non-opioid analgesics.
  • Addiction & Reward Research: Exploring the contribution of α3β2 receptors to the rewarding effects of nicotine and other drugs of abuse, and their role in addiction pathways.

  • 3.CLINICAL EFFICACY OF PRODUCT

  • Target Validation for Pain: Research using α-Conotoxin IMI has been instrumental in demonstrating that blocking α3β2 receptors produces potent analgesia in animal models, without the side effects associated with broader nAChR blockade. This has validated α3β2 as a target for developing non-addictive, non-opioid pain medications.
  • Differentiation of Receptor Subtype Functions: Its high selectivity has allowed scientists to definitively attribute specific physiological functions (e.g., in autonomic control, sensory processing) to the α3β2 subtype, separating them from the functions of the more abundant α4β2 and α7 subtypes.
