Description

Anthopleurin-C is a bioactive peptide derived from the sea anemone species Anthopleura elegantissima, has attracted attention in biomedical research for its potential therapeutic applications. It is a powerful cardiotoxin that exerts significant effects on mammalian heart muscle, inducing both positive inotropic and chronotropic responses. This compound not only enhances the strength of cardiac muscle contractions but also accelerates the heart rate. Additionally, Anthopleurin-C alters the behavior of fast sodium (Na+) channels in neuroblastoma cells, resulting in delayed and incomplete inactivation of these channels. This modification can have important implications for cellular excitability and overall cardiac function, highlighting the dual role of Anthopleurin-C as both a cardiotonic agent and a modulator of ion channel dynamics. Its unique origin and biological activities not only highlight the intricate relationships within marine ecosystems but also open avenues for the development of novel pharmaceuticals derived from marine biodiversity.
