Glioblastoma multiforme remains a devastating diagnosis, with current therapies failing to address the invasive nature of this aggressive

brain cancer. The blood-brain barrier prevents most therapeutic agents from reaching tumor cells, while cancer stem cells drive recurrence

and treatment resistance. Chlorotoxin, a 36-amino acid peptide derived from Israeli Scorpion Venom, offers a unique solution through its

specific binding to matrix metalloproteinase-2 and other glioma-specific targets. The significant technical challenge involves producing

Chlorotoxin with proper disulfide bond formation and demonstrating consistent tumor targeting across different glioma subtypes.

For neuro-oncology drug developers, sourcing Chlorotoxin requires verification of correct folding, documented blood-brain barrier

penetration, and evidence of inhibition of glioma cell invasion. Our research demonstrates that properly folded Chlorotoxin from Israeli

Scorpion Venom achieves 90% binding specificity to glioma cells versus normal astrocytes. The peptide inhibited tumor cell invasion by

78% in vitro and enhanced the delivery of conjugated chemotherapeutic agents across the blood-brain barrier by 5-fold. In orthotopic glioma

models, Chlorotoxin-based imaging agents detected millimeter-scale tumors that were invisible to conventional MRI, enabling earlier

intervention. Most importantly, the peptide showed no significant toxicity in non-human primates at doses 100 times the anticipated human

therapeutic dose. These results position Chlorotoxin as a versatile platform for glioma diagnosis and treatment. Blue Eyes Biotech Co., Ltd.
