Funded Activity Summary

Novel Sodium Ion Channel Modulators From Australian Cephalopods. Many Australian cephalopods (octopuses, squids, cuttlefishes and nautiluses) use potent toxins to rapidly paralyse diverse prey and defend against predators. These toxins act by the efficient blocking of ion channels critical to the transmission of nerve impulses. Knowledge of these toxins can lead to safer and better drugs for the relief of chronic pain.
