Marine-derived ion channel modulators with pharmaceutical depth

Marine toxins furnish highly selective ligands for voltage- and ligand-gated channels, enabling standardized assays for synaptic transmission, pain modulation, and toxinology. Venom Supplies curates a balanced portfolio spanning cone snail venom peptides, sea anemone toxins, dinoflagellate toxins, and jellyfish polypeptides. Each lot undergoes desalting and lyophilization under inert gas to preserve disulfide networks and minimize oxidation.

Cone snail conotoxins with resolved pharmacology

We maintain species-specific pools from Conus magus, Conus geographus, and Conus textile. Analytical workflows leverage nano-LC-MS/MS sequencing to annotate critical μ-, ω-, and α-conotoxins with reported IC₅₀ values against NaV and CaV isoforms. Investigators advancing analgesic development benefit from the CaV2.2-selective ω-conotoxin fractions, supported by data packages referencing whole-cell recordings and synaptosome assays. These profiles integrate seamlessly with the Ion Channel Research and Pain Research sections.

Cnidarian peptides and algal neurotoxins

Sea anemone and jellyfish toxins expand the ligand repertoire to include NaV gating modifiers and pore blockers. Characterization includes surface plasmon resonance binding curves and cytotoxicity screening on cardiomyocytes to flag off-target liabilities. Complementing peptide sources, Venom Supplies offers purified saxitoxin and brevetoxin standards validated by HPLC and isotope-dilution mass spectrometry, providing precise references for toxin surveillance laboratories.

Compliance and handling support

Marine neurotoxins demand stringent safety practices. Each COA encapsulates purity (≥ 98%), peptide quantitation, residual solvent analysis, and endotoxin data. SDS documents align with GHS classifications and supply recommended neutralization protocols. Shipment occurs on dry ice with tamper-evident seals, and our Ordering & Shipping guidelines outline customs documentation and harmonized tariff codes for international delivery.
