Targeting ion channels involved in nociception is currently being investigated for the treatment of pain. Human genetic studies have demonstrated that patients with null mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7 were resistant to pain suggesting that Nav1.7 could be a target for the development of novel analgesic. ProTx-II, a peptide toxin belonging to the inhibitory cystine knot (ICK) family, was shown to selectively block the Nav1.7 channel but lacked in vivo efficacy.
We are delighted to publish our first paper of 2022 in the Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis (Elsevier). Here we leveraged our peptide #ADME toolbox to gain a better understanding of the interplay between oligomerization, albumin binding and catabolism of lipidated peptides in the subcutaneous compartment, using #GLP-1 analogs as model peptides.
