Bioactivity Comments
RgIA4 is 1,000- to 10,000-fold selective for the α9α10 nAChR compared with all other tested receptors (including opioid receptors and GABAB receptors) and ion channels, and exhibits no hERG liability [1]. In a rodent chemotherapy-induced model of pain, RgIA4-induced inhibition of α9α10 nAChRs prevented chemotherapy(oxaliplatin)-induced neuropathic pain.
