| Description |
Ziconotide (also known as SNX-111) is a neurotoxic peptide derived from the cone snail _Conus magus_ comprising 25 amino acids with three disulphide bonds.[A202835, L13389] Other such peptides, collectively termed conotoxins, exist, and some have shown efficacy in binding specific subsets of calcium channels; ziconotide is used in part because it can be synthesized without loss of proper bond formation or structural elements.[A202829, A202832] Ziconotide is used to manage severe chronic pain refractory to other methods, through its ability to inhibit N-type calcium channels involved in nociceptive signalling.[A202829, A202835, A202838, A202841, A202850, A202859, L13389]
Ziconotide was granted FDA approval on December 28, 2004 for marketing by TerSera therapeutics LLC. under the name Prialt.[L13389] To date, ziconotide is the only calcium channel blocking peptide approved for use by the FDA.[A202835] |
| Indications and Usage |
Ziconotide is indicated for the management of severe chronic pain in patients refractory to other treatments, and for whom intrathecal therapy is warranted.[L13389] |
