Traditional sourcing of Centipede Venom through manual extraction presents challenges in scalability, batch-to-batch consistency, and

potential ethical concerns regarding animal welfare. As therapeutic applications advance toward clinical development and eventual

commercialization, these limitations become increasingly significant. The technological solution lies in recombinant production using

microbial or mammalian expression systems to generate sustainable supplies of specific venom peptides. However, this approach faces

substantial barriers, particularly for the complex disulfide-rich peptides found in Centipede Venom, which often require specialized host

systems and folding protocols to achieve correct three-dimensional structure and biological activity. For pharmaceutical companies

planning long-term development programs, procurement decisions should consider the supplier's investment in recombinant technologies

and their progress toward producing functional equivalents of native venom peptides. The availability of recombinant versions can

significantly de-risk future supply constraints. We have successfully expressed a key potassium channel modulator from Centipede Venom

in Pichia pastoris, achieving yields of 120 mg/L of fermentation culture. The recombinant peptide demonstrates identical chromatographic

behavior to the native compound and shows equivalent potency in patch-clamp assays, with an IC50 of 11.2 nM versus 9.8 nM for the

natural product. This represents a significant step toward sustainable production of this valuable compound. Securing long-term,

sustainable supply of venom-derived therapeutics requires investment in advanced production technologies. Blue Eyes Biotech Co., Ltd. is

actively developing recombinant production platforms for key Centipede Venom peptides to complement our natural sourcing capabilities.
