 Natural Toxins, synthetically produced - Information
|
 | What are natural toxins?
Natural toxins occur as is well-known in a big number of animal species.
Representative for the multitude of toxins we would like to state apamin, the toxin of the bee or conotoxin, a toxin originated in the cone snail, a sea
snail. Some of the sea snail venoms (cone snail) contain a analgetic toxin, i.e. the toxin derived of the conus magus species. The analgetic action of this toxin is 1000times stronger compared to morphine.
Toxins consists of a mixture of different peptides. Each of these single peptides attacks special neuritic channels or receptors.
These animal toxins are in the focus of the pharmaceutical research and development and become more and more important in this sector to develop drugs against diseases like Alzheimer, Parkinson or Epilepsy.
Besides this, toxins are already used in pain treatment therapy.
Only the sea snails count more then 10,000 different species. This gives you an example which immense potential is hidden in these natural toxins.

| The advantages of our products:
Smartox, our French partner does not use neither natural toxins, which could harm the species population nor are they CITES listed. Our partner is producing these toxins by peptide synthesis, which has the following advantages:
· Reproducable quality - close to cGMP
· Constantly high quality
· No affect to the species population
· Moderate price (no animal has to be shipped around the world)
· Peptide sequence is exactly known.
