Notes: Chlorotoxin is a peptide originally isolated from the venom of the scorpion L. quinquestriatus.{72508,72509} It inhibits chloride currents in rat colonic enterocyte plasma membrane preparations when used at a concentration of 594 nM.{72508} Chlorotoxin also binds to, but does not inhibit, matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2; IC50s = 0.71 and >30 µM, respectively), as well as neuropilin-1 (NRP-1; IC50 = 0.78 µM) in cell-free assays.{72510} It induces paralysis in crayfish (P. clarkii) but is not cytotoxic to human U87MG glioma, MCF-7 breast cancer, PC3 prostate cancer, and A549 lung cancer cells.{72508,72509} Administration of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells expressing CAR with chlorotoxin as the targeting domain increase survival and decrease tumor volume in an orthotopic patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse model of glioblastoma.{72511} Liposomes containing chlorotoxin and encapsulating doxorubicin decrease tumor volume in a U87 glioma mouse xenograft model.{72512} Fluorescently labeled chlorotoxin has been used for tumor imaging in vivo.{72513}
