Leconotide (INN) (code names CNSB004, AM336), also known as ω-conotoxin CVID, is an ω-conotoxin peptide isolated from the venom of ''Conus catus'' which is under investigation as an analgesic drug for the treatment of pain conditions. It acts as an N-type voltage-gated calcium channel (Cav2.2) blocker, and is highly selective for this channel over the related P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channel (Cav2.1).〔〔 Relative to ziconotide, leconotide is advantageous in that it is significantly less toxic, and for that reason can be administered intravenously as opposed to via intrathecal injection. ==See also== * Ziconotide, an analgesic peptide derived from the toxin of the cone snail species Conus magus * Lacosamide, an approved small molecule analgesic and anti-epileptic * Ralfinamide, an investigational small molecule analgesic 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leconotide」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
