Synthetic conantokins and conopressins are ineffective on the zebrafish larval escape response. The four nirvana peptides, conantokin-G (circle), conantokin-T (square) (0.003–1 μM), conopressin-G (inverted triangle) and conopressin-T (triangle) (0.003–5 μM) were dosed in water and touch-evoked larval escape responses plotted. All four peptides at maximal concentrations failed to elicit any effect on the larvae, as they constantly displayed an escape response score of around 9. Untreated larvae exhibited an average escape response score of 9.2 (dotted line). Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments.
