Conotoxin MVIIA (also known as Ziconotide, Prialt), is a powerful analgesic available in the US and Europe for treatment of neuropathic pain (Refs. "A toxin against pain", Gary Stix, Scientific American, April 2005, pp. 70-75 ; and "Toward Better Pain Control", Allan Bausbaum and David Julius, Scientific American, June 2006, pp. 60-67). (The 6-6-0-3-4 loop structure is typical of omega conotoxins (but also found in other classes - King Kong conopeptide and delta-conotoxins for example. See Cone Shell and Conotoxins HomePage)
