An ability of polypeptide PP-14 to modulate the excitability of nociceptive neuron membrane was investigated by patch- clamp method. The agent was demonstrated to decrease the voltage sensitivity of slow sodium channels NaV1.8, responsible for nociceptive signal coding. Extracellular application of PP-14 induced a significant decrease in the effective charge transfer (Zeff) of the activation gating machinery of NaV1.8 channels, which indicates that the polypeptide may produce analgesia. Nevertheless, the effect of PP-14 is less pronounced as compared to a sharp decrease in nociceptive neuron excitability induced by a more complex molecule of defensin NP-1 applied at subnanomolar concentrations. Quantum- chemical analysis of PP-14 and NP-1 steric structures made it possible to account for the relative efficacy of ligand- receptor binding of these polypeptides.

Key words: nociception, patch-clamp method, slow sodium channels, polypeptides, quantum-chemical calculations
