Acylpolyamine-type spider toxins are known to be potent and specific blockers against glutamate receptors (GluRs). The present study describes the syntheses and biological activities of several fluorescent-labeled analogs related to a Madagascar Joro spider toxin NPTX-594 to analyze visually the unknown interaction between spider toxins and GluRs.
酰基多胺型蜘蛛毒素是已知的强效且特异性的谷氨酸受体(GluRs)阻滞剂。本研究描述了几种与马达加斯加Joro蜘蛛毒素NPTX - 594相关的荧光标记类似物的合成及其生物活性,以便直观地分析蜘蛛毒素与谷氨酸受体之间未知的相互作用。
