Abstract: |
The present invention is directed to the use of conantokin peptides, conantokin peptide derivatives and conantokin peptide chimeras, referred to collectively as conantokins, having 10-30 amino acids, including preferably two or more gamma-carboxyglutamic acid residues, for the treatment of neurologic and psychiatric disorders, such as pain, e.g., as an analgesic agent.
