C31H42N2O6

The most potent Na+ channel activator

The First Library of Venom Fractions

Natural animal peptides and toxins in 96-well-plates for
Drug Discovery and High Throughput Screening (HTS).


KITOXAN® is a unique selection of snakes, scorpions, amphibians and spiders venoms fractions in ready-to-use 96-well-plates.

All venoms have been cleared from molecules over 8.500 Da (cytotoxic enzymes) and split up in 20 fractions. Each fraction is expected to contain at least 5 to 10 peptides at a 10µmol concentration in 100µl.

HPLC Chromatogram and MALDI-TOF mass spectrum are also provided for each venom.
