M3-Huwentoxin IV

M3-Huwentoxin IV (m3-HwTx-IV) is a potent inhibitor of sodium channels (NaV), with half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) of 3.3 nM for hNaV1.7, 6.8 nM for hNaV1.6, 7.2 nM for hNaV1.3, 8.4 nM for hNaV1.1, 11.9 nM for hNaV1.2, and 369 nM for hNaV1.4 in the QPatch assay. It also alleviates spontaneous pain in a rodent model induced by the NaV1.7 activator OD1 in a dose-dependent manner [1].
