Abstract: |
A method and compositions for reducing neuronal damage related to an ischemic condition in a mammalian subject are described. The method includes administration of a voltage-gated calcium channel-blocking compound to the subject, 4-24 hours after the onset of the ischemic condition. Such a calcium channel blocking compound is effective to block norepinephrine release in mammalian CNS neuronal cells and is characterized by specific, high affinity binding to omega-conotoxin MVIIA binding sites. Also disclosed are novel peptide structures useful in the treatment method of the invention.

First Claim:
Show all 5 claims |
It is claimed:
1. A method of reducing neuronal damage resulting from an ischemic condition in the central nervous system of a mammalian subject, comprising
- parenterally administering to the subject, at a time 6-24 hours following the onset of the ischemic condition, a pharmaceutically acceptable amount of an OCT peptide effective to inhibit voltage-gated calcium channels selectively in neuronal tissue, as evidenced by the ability of the OCT peptide to
- (a) bind to an MVIIA omega-conotoxin binding site in neuronal tissue with an affinity which is at least as great as that exhibited by any of the omega-conotoxins MVIIA, GVIA, TVIA and SNX-207 for said binding site; and
- (b) inhibit norepinephrine release at a given site in neuronal tissue with at least the same potency as that exhibited by any of the omega-conotoxins MVIIA, GVIA, TVIA and SNX-207 at said neuronal site.
