Scientists analyzing the countless numbers of spiders found in the venom of the chemicals, and they think they put their hands on vehicles capable of preventing the body from the transfer of pain signals to the brain.
Scientists hope that their research will lead to the production of a new range of powerful pain relievers. They focused on 206 species of spiders and discussed in labeled molecules may stop nerve activity through certain channels. Experts estimate that one out of every five people around the world suffer from chronic pain with pain treatments available failed to get rid of the pain in the short or long term. The economic burden to get rid of a huge pain, chronic pain as the cost the United States alone, $ 600 billion a year.
One feels as pain in one part of his body when the nerves send signals in this region to the brain through the pain pathways. These routes are that scientists are trying to install its functions when searching for new drugs to get rid of the pain. He said, "Glenn King", who oversaw the study by University of Queensland "care about the particular compound closes pain pathways." He said that previous studies showed lack of sensation to pain in lack of these routes - to cause genetic mutation to occur Natural image- So in that the closure of these pathways can stop feeling with pain in people with these natural pathways.
Stop Activity nerves
He focused on the research side of the new analgesic drugs on the types of spiders in the world up to 45 alpha, which kill their prey with venom killer, which contains hundreds if not thousands of protein molecules that stop the activity, some nerves. She said, "Julie Kay Clint", which King participated in this study "has not yet been discovered only 0.01 per cent of this huge group of pharmaceutical compounds."
The scientists tested toxins from 206 species of spiders and found that 40 per cent of them contain the same boat at least close neural pathways in humans. With regard to seven promising compounds and put their hands on them, the scientists said that one of them is highly effective and is characterized by the installation of a chemical indicates that stable destination of chemical, thermal and biological manner fit to be an active drug.
