Preparation of medicinal compositions useful as anta-gonists of excitatory amino acid neuro-transmitters and/or as blockers of calcium channels

This invention relates to certain polypeptides found to be present in the venom of the Agelenopsis aperta spider. The polypeptides block calcium channels in cells of various organisms and are useful in blocking said calcium channels in cells, per se, in the treatment of calcium channel mediated dise...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	This invention relates to certain polypeptides found to be present in the venom of the Agelenopsis aperta spider. The polypeptides block calcium channels in cells of various organisms and are useful in blocking said calcium channels in cells, per se, in the treatment of calcium channel mediated diseases and conditions and in the control of invertebrate pests.
