Det er usandsynligt, at ziconotids nedbrydningsprodukter vil have signifikant biologisk aktivitet, da peptider bestående af individuelle peptid løkke- strukturer har vist sig at have bindingsaffiniteter for N- type spændingsafhængige calciumkanaler, der er flere størrelsesordener lavere end moderstoffets (ziconotid).
It is unlikely that the degradation products of ziconotide will have significant biological activity, as peptides consisting of the individual peptide loop structures have been found to have binding affinities for N-type voltage sensitive calcium channels that are several orders of magnitude lower than that of the parent (ziconotide) compound.
