Psalmotoxin 1 (PcTx1) is a protein toxin that binds to the subunit-subunit interface of acid-sensitive ion channel 1a (ASIC1a). Psalmotoxin 1 potently and selectively inhibits ASIC1a (IC50= 0.9 nM) by increasing the apparent affinity of ASIC1a to H+. Psalmotoxin 1 can cause apoptosis and inhibit cancer cell migration, proliferation and invasion. Psalmotoxin 1 could be used in research into cancer or neurological diseases.

Biological Activity


Targets IC50: 0.9 nM (ASIC1a), 50 nM (ASIC1b, ASIC2a, and ASIC3)[6].
ln Vitro Psalmotoxin 1 (20 nM, 125 s) dramatically alters the steady-state desensitization curve to lower the H+ concentration, which inhibits ASIC1a currents [1]. The binding of Psalmotoxin 1 (30 nM) to ASIC1a channels is competitive with Ca2+ [1]. Psalmotoxin 1 (100 or 200 ng, 24-72 hours) markedly reduced MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell migration, proliferation, and invasion [4]. Inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in nucleus pulposus cells (NPC), psalmotoxin 1 (100 ng/mL, 24 h) significantly inhibits the acid-induced increase involved in intracellular calcium and LDH release [5].
ln Vivo Psalmotoxin 1 (icv, 1 ng/kg, single dosage) directly inhibits ASIC1a in conscious stroke animals to produce neuroprotective benefits [2]. Tumor growth is inhibited in a mouse model of breast cancer by Psalmotoxin 1 (10 ng/kg, once daily for 7 days) injections [4].
Cell Assay Cell Proliferation Assay[4]
Cell Types: MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells
Tested Concentrations: 100 or 200 ng
Incubation Duration: 24, 48, 72 h
Experimental Results: Inhibited the cell migration, proliferation and invasion of breast cancer cells.

Western Blot Analysis[5]
Cell Types: Nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs)
Tested Concentrations: 100 ng/mL
Incubation Duration: 24 h
Experimental Results: diminished Bax and cleaved caspase-3 expression, and increased Bcl-2 expression.
Animal Protocol Animal/Disease Models: Male spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR)[2]
Doses: 1 ng/kg, a single dose.
Route of Administration: Intracerebroventricular (icv) injection
Experimental Results: diminished cortical and striatal infarct volumes measured 72 h post-stroke. diminished the severity of motor deficit at 1 and 3 days after stroke compared to control rats. Displayed an anti-apoptotic effect in the occluded hemisphere (diminished stroke-induced caspase-3 positive cells).

Animal/Disease Models: Female nude balb/c (Bagg ALBino) mouse: (orthotopic implantation, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells)[3]
Doses: 10 ng/kg, daily for 7 days.
Route of Administration: Tail vein injection
Experimental Results: Inhibited breast tumor growth.

Solubility Data


Solubility (In Vitro) May dissolve in DMSO (in most cases), if not, try other solvents such as H2O, Ethanol, or DMF with a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples
Solubility (In Vivo) Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
