Abstract

En 中文
Background Thrombosis is the key driver for ischemic events, including stroke, which is the leading cause of global mortality. However, current antithrombotic therapies carry substantial bleeding risks. Targeting protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1), a thrombin-activated receptor central to thrombus growth, represents a promising antithrombotic strategy for safer intervention. Material and Methods we mined the venom gland transcriptome of Conus spp., applied in silico Furin cleavage prediction, and synthesized and screened the anti-PAR-1 activity of a series of conotoxin-derived peptides. Results Cb-26 exhibited the strongest but reversible activity in inhibiting PAR-1-mediated platelet activation and aggregation in vitro. Crucially, Cb-26 inhibited platelet adhesion, neutrophil extracellular traps formation, and thrombus growth under shear conditions in whole blood from healthy donors. In murine models, Cb-26 significantly delayed carotid occlusion and reduced cerebral infarct size in photochemical-induced ischemic stroke, without affecting blood coagulation and bleeding time. Conclusion These results suggest that Cb-26 is a selective and reversible PAR-1 antagonist and represents a promising antithrombotic candidate without apparent bleeding side effects.
