Smartox Biotechnology is specialised in animal venom research. Smartox offers a catalog of synthetic toxins which modulate ion channels, GPCR and integrins.
Smartox has developed an innovative compound library named “VenomScreen” made of 40,000 peptides from animal venoms. This library allows to access a unique chemical space composed of constrained peptides targetting preferentially GPCRs, ion channels, integrins and some of them also demonstrate potent bioinsecticidal and antimicrobial properties.
Animal venom toxins have been involved in a wide range of therapeutic area such as autoimmune disease, diabetes, pain, cardiovascular disorders, cancer..
