This same toxin is demonstrated to be a good regulator for melanogenesis without cytotoxicity. That's why ArgTX-636 is playing a leading role in the research of cosmetic products against hyper pigmentation.

ArgTX-636 can also work as an analgesic due to some peripheral actions. Thanks to its action as inhibitor on gtutamate-activated channels it could work as an anti convulsant.

Argiotoxins are classified into three different categories according to its chromophore's nature: the argiopine type, the argiopinine type and the pseudoargiopinine type.

This spider's venom shows varied action mechanisms that affect the different parts of the nervous impulse transmission chain. As mentioned above, Argiotoxins are
