Target: Chloride Channel[1]

In Vitro Chlorotoxin (Chlorotoxin) preferentially binds to tumor cells and has been harnessed to develop an imaging agent to help visualize tumors during surgical resection. In addition, chlorotoxin has potential as a vehicle to deliver anti-cancer drugs specifically to cancer cells. Chlorotoxin is shown to bind glioma cells, but is unable to bind normal rat astrocytes and Te671, a human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line. Chlorotoxin inhibits the migration of U251MG (glioma) cells, with an IC50 of 600 nM[2]. Chlorotoxin binds to glioma cells is specific and involves high affinity (Kd=4.2 nM) and low affinity (Kd=660 nM) binding sites[3].Small conductance chloride channels are shown to be potently blocked by Chlorotoxin. Chlorotoxin has been used as a general pharmacological tool to investigate the function of chloride channels[4].
In Vivo Chlorotoxin shows insecticidal activity on insects and other invertebrates. After the administration of I-Chlorotoxin to tumor-bearing mice, the peptides accumulated within the tumor[2].Chlorotoxin selectively accumulates in the brain of tumor-bearing mice with calculated brain: muscle ratios of 36.4% of injected dose/g (ID/g), as compared to 12.4%ID/g in control animals[3].
Animal Admin Mouse: At 24, 48, 72, and 96 h after tumor-bearing and control SCID mice are injected with 125l-labeled Chlorotoxin, they are anesthetized and imaged. Both 125I- and 131l-labeled Chlorotoxin-injected animals and their control counterparts are killed at indicated time points for biodistribution studies[3].
