Huwentoxin-I（虎紋捕鳥蛛神經毒素-I） 

Blocker of N-type Ca²⁺ channel and TTX-S channels

N型鈣通道和TTX敏感型(TTX-S)通道阻斷劑

Huwentoxin-I (HwTx-I) is a neurotoxin that was originally isolated from the venom of the Chinese bird spider Ornithoctonus huwena. Huwentoxin-I is known to be an inhibitor of tetrodotoxin-sensitive voltage-gated sodium channels (TTX-S) (IC₅₀ ~ 50 nM) and N-type voltage-sensitive calcium channels (IC₅₀ ~ 100 nM) in mammalian DRG, hippocampus and insect's DUM neurons. It has only a very weak effect on L-type calcium channels, no effect on TTX-R channels and has virtually no effect on muscle sodium channels.  The selectivity  of Huwentoxin-I  for calcium channels appears to be higher than  ω-conotoxin MVIIA and equivalent to  ω-conotoxin GVIA. Huwentoxin-I demonstrated an antinociceptive effect in the rat model of the formalin test when administrated intrathecally (ED₅₀ ~ 0.28 µg/kg), without side effects of the ones led by  ω-conotoxin MVIIA.
