Leconotide (INN) (code names CNSB004, AM336), also known as ω-conotoxin CVID, is an ω-conotoxin peptide isolated from the venom of Conus catus which is under investigation as an analgesic drug for the treatment of pain conditions.^[1][2]

It acts as an N-type voltage-gated calcium channel (Ca_v2.2) blocker, and is highly selective for this channel over the related P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channel (Ca_v2.1).^[1][2]

Relative to ziconotide, leconotide is advantageous in that it is significantly less toxic, and for that reason can be administered intravenously as opposed to via intrathecal injection.^[3][4][5]

• Lacosamide, an approved small molecule analgesic and anti-epileptic
• Ralfinamide, an investigational small molecule analgesic
