Iberiotoxin is a toxin isolated from Buthus tamulus scorpion venom. Iberiotoxin is a selective high conductance high conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel inhibitor with a Kd of ~1 nM. Iberiotoxin does not block other types of voltage-dependent ion channels[1][2][3].

Kd: 1 nM (Ca2+-activated K+ channel)[1][3]
体外研究 (In Vitro)
Iberiotoxin reversibly blocks Ca2+-activated K+ channel in excised membrane patches from bovine aortic smooth muscle. Iberiotoxin acts exclusively at the outer face of the channel and functions with IC50 values of about 250 pM. Iberiotoxin is a partial inhibitor of 125I-charybdotoxin binding in bovine aortic sarcolemmal membrane vesicles (Ki of 250 pM). Iberiotoxin functions as a noncompetitive inhibitor of charybdotoxin binding[1]. Iberiotoxin treatment affects rat mesenchymal stem cells (rMSCs) migration in the absence of platelet lysate (PL) by inducing a decrease in cell migration suggesting that BK channels regulate rMSCs migration in basal conditions. 10 nM of Iberiotoxin abolishes the PL-induced migration effect on MSCs[2].

体内研究 (In Vivo)
Male Wistar rats (6-7 weeks old) with chronic heart failure (CHF), Iberiotoxin (0.125 nmol/nl, 1.25 nmol/nl and 12.5 nmol/nl) is infused into paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVN) by osmotic minipumps. After perfusion of Iberiotoxin by microinjection of rAAV2-KCNMB4 shRNA virus, right ventricular weight/body weight and lung weight/body weight ratio as well as left ventricular end-diastolic diameter are increased and left ventricular ejection fraction is decreased[4].
