?:definition
  • A synthetic, nonopiod, twenty-five amino acid polybasic peptide analogue of an omega-conotoxin derived from the marine snail Conus magus with analgesic activity. Ziconotide appears to block neuronal N-type voltage-sensitive calcium channels (NCCB), inhibiting transmission from pain-sensing primary nociceptors. This agent may exhibit significant analgesic activity in refractory pain. Check for \'https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/clinical-trials/intervention/C1475\' active clinical trials using this agent.
