µ-conotoxin CnIIIC is a conopeptide that has been isolated from the venom of the marine cone snail Conus consors. µ-conotoxin CnIIIC exhibits a myorelaxing effect through specific blockade of the skeletal muscle Nav1.4 channels (IC50 = 1.4 nM). µ-conotoxin CnIIIC also blocks Nav1.2 channels (1 µM) and mildly Nav1.7. In contrast, Nav1.5 and Nav1.8 are insensitive to the action of the toxin. µ-conotoxin CnIIIC also blocks the α3β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (IC50= 450 nM) and to lesser extents the α7 and α4β2 subtypes. µ-conotoxin CnIIIC completely inhibits twitch tension in isolated mouse hemidiaphragms (IC50 = 150 nM).

A novel µ-conopeptide, CnIIIC, exerts potent and preferential inhibition of NaV1.2/1.4 channels and blocks neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
The µ-conopeptide family is defined by its ability to block voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs), a property that can be used for the development of myorelaxants and analgesics. We characterized the pharmacology of a new µ-conopeptide (µ-CnIIIC) on a range of preparations and molecular targets to assess its potential as a myorelaxant.
EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH:
µ-CnIIIC was sequenced, synthesized and characterized by its direct block of elicited twitch tension in mouse skeletal muscle and action potentials in mouse sciatic and pike olfactory nerves. µ-CnIIIC was also studied on HEK-293 cells expressing various rodent VGSCs and also on voltage-gated potassium channels and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) to assess cross-interactions. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments were carried out for structural data.
KEY RESULTS:
Synthetic µ-CnIIIC decreased twitch tension in mouse hemidiaphragms (IC(50) = 150 nM), and displayed a higher blocking effect in mouse extensor digitorum longus muscles (IC = 46 nM), compared with µ-SIIIA, µ-SmIIIA and µ-PIIIA. µ-CnIIIC blocked Na(V)1.4 (IC(50) = 1.3 nM) and Na(V)1.2 channels in a long-lasting manner. Cardiac Na(V)1.5 and DRG-specific Na(V)1.8 channels were not blocked at 1 µM. µ-CnIIIC also blocked the α3β2 nAChR subtype (IC(50) = 450 nM) and, to a lesser extent, on the α7 and α4β2 subtypes. Structure determination of µ-CnIIIC revealed some similarities to α-conotoxins acting on nAChRs.
CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS:
µ-CnIIIC potently blocked VGSCs in skeletal muscle and nerve, and hence is applicable to myorelaxation. Its atypical pharmacological profile suggests some common structural features between VGSCs and nAChR channels.

Mechanism and molecular basis for the sodium channel subtype specificity of µ-conopeptide CnIIIC.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Voltage-gated sodium channels (Na(V) channels) are key players in the generation and propagation of action potentials, and selective blockade of these channels is a promising strategy for clinically useful suppression of electrical activity. The conotoxin µ-CnIIIC from the cone snail Conus consors exhibits myorelaxing activity in rodents through specific blockade of skeletal muscle (Na(V) 1.4) Na(V) channels.
EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH:
We investigated the activity of µ-CnIIIC on human Na(V) channels and characterized its inhibitory mechanism, as well as the molecular basis, for its channel specificity.
KEY RESULTS:
Similar to rat paralogs, human Na(V) 1.4 and Na(V) 1.2 were potently blocked by µ-CnIIIC, the sensitivity of Na(V) 1.7 was intermediate, and Na(V) 1.5 and Na(V) 1.8 were insensitive. Half-channel chimeras revealed that determinants for the insensitivity of Na(V) 1.8 must reside in both the first and second halves of the channel, while those for Na(V) 1.5 are restricted to domains I and II. Furthermore, domain I pore loop affected the total block and therefore harbours the major determinants for the subtype specificity. Domain II pore loop only affected the kinetics of toxin binding and dissociation. Blockade by µ-CnIIIC of Na(V) 1.4 was virtually irreversible but left a residual current of about 5%, reflecting a ‘leaky’ block; therefore, Na(+) ions still passed through µ-CnIIIC-occupied Na(V) 1.4 to some extent. TTX was excluded from this binding site but was trapped inside the pore by µ-CnIIIC.
CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS:
Of clinical significance, µ-CnIIIC is a potent and persistent blocker of human skeletal muscle Na(V) 1.4 that does not affect activity of cardiac Na(V) 1.5.

pH(1)=pKa+lg[c(CH₃COONa)/c(CH₃COOH)]=pKa=4.74
通HCl后,溶液是c(CH₃COOH)=0.2mol/L、c(NaCl)=0.1mol/L的混合溶液,溶液pH按照弱酸溶液pH的求法求.
c(H⁺)=√[Ka*c(CH₃COOH)]=√(10^-4.74*0.2)=0.00191(mol/L)(采用了近似公式)
pH(2)=-lg{c(H⁺)}=2.72
两个pH求得,那么pH的变化量也就可得了.pH的变化量=|pH(2)-pH(1)|=|2.72-4.74|=2.02
1)PH缓冲溶液作用原理和pH值
当往某些溶液中加入一定量的酸和碱时,有阻碍溶液pH变化的作用,称为缓冲作用,这样的溶液叫做缓冲溶液.弱酸及其盐的混合溶液(如HAc与NaAc),弱碱及其盐的混合溶液(如NH3·H2O与NH4Cl)等都是缓冲溶液.
由弱酸HA及其盐NaA所组成的缓冲溶液对酸的缓冲作用,是由于溶液中存在足够量的碱A-的缘故.当向这种溶液中加入一定量的强酸时,H离子基本上被A-离子消耗:
所以溶液的pH值几乎不变;当加入一定量强碱时,溶液中存在的弱酸HA消耗OH-离子而阻碍pH的变化.
2)PH缓冲溶液的缓冲能力
在缓冲溶液中加入少量强酸或强碱,其溶液pH值变化不大,但若加入酸,碱的量多时,缓冲溶液就失去了它的缓冲作用.这说明它的缓冲能力是有一定限度的.
缓冲溶液的缓冲能力与组成缓冲溶液的组分浓度有关.0.1mol·L-1HAc和0.1mol·L-1NaAc组成的缓冲溶液,比0.01mol·L-1HAc和0.01mol·L-1NaAc的缓冲溶液缓冲能力大.关于这一点通过计算便可证实.但缓冲溶液组分的浓度不能太大,否则,不能忽视离子间的作用.
组成缓冲溶液的两组分的比值不为1∶1时,缓冲作用减小,缓冲能力降低,当c(盐)/c(酸)为1∶1时△pH最小,缓冲能力大.不论对于酸或碱都有较大的缓冲作用.缓冲溶液的pH值可用下式计算:
此时缓冲能力大.缓冲组分的比值离1∶1愈远,缓冲能力愈小,甚至不能起缓冲作用.对于任何缓冲体系,存在有效缓冲范围,这个范围大致在pKaφ(或pKbφ)两侧各一个pH单位之内.
弱酸及其盐(弱酸及其共轭碱)体系pH=pKaφ±1
弱碱及其盐(弱碱及其共轭酸)体系pOH=pKbφ±1
例如HAc的pKaφ为4.76,所以用HAc和NaAc适宜于配制pH为3.76~5.76的缓冲溶液,在这个范围内有较大的缓冲作用.配制pH=4.76的缓冲溶液时缓冲能力最大,此时(c(HAc)/c(NaAc)=1.
3)PH缓冲溶液的配制和应用
为了配制一定pH的缓冲溶液,首先选定一个弱酸,它的pKaφ尽可能接近所需配制的缓冲溶液的pH值,然后计算酸与碱的浓度比,根据此浓度比便可配制所需缓冲溶液.
以上主要以弱酸及其盐组成的缓冲溶液为例说明它的作用原理、pH计算和配制方法.对于弱碱及其盐组成的缓冲溶液可采用相同的方法.
PH缓冲溶液在物质分离和成分分析等方面应用广泛,如鉴定Mg2离子时,可用下面的反应:
白色磷酸铵镁沉淀溶于酸,故反应需在碱性溶液中进行,但碱性太强,可能生成白色Mg(OH)2沉淀,所以反应的pH值需控制在一定范围内,因此利用NH3·H2O和NH4Cl组成的缓冲溶液,保持溶液的pH值条件下,进行上述反应.
这就是说不用酸碱预处理吗?
