The invention discloses a medicine for treating diabetic retinopathy and application of scorpion venom heat-resistant synthetic peptide in treating the disease, belongs to the field of research and development of polypeptide medicines, and is used for treating or preventing the diabetic retinopathy (DR). Experimental results show that the scorpion venom heat-resistant synthetic peptide (SVHRSP) has the effect of preventing and treating diabetic retinopathy (DR) on a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced mouse experimental diabetes model, and can repress retinal function impairment caused by impairment of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mouse retinal photoreceptor cells and retinal nerve inner layer cells; and retina structure damage caused by thinning of the retina thickness of a diabetic mouse induced by STZ (streptozotocin) is inhibited.

The application relates to the technical field of biological medicine engineering, and provides a preparation method and application of a scorpion toxin-derived transmembrane polypeptide. The OpiCalcin1 polypeptide is optimized in a truncation mode, two polypeptides Opi1 17-33 CSKKCKRRGTNPEKRCR and Opi1 23-33 RRGTNPEKRCR with excellent transmembrane function and low cytotoxicity are provided. Through experiment verification, the two cell transmembrane peptides have excellent transmembrane effect and low cytotoxicity, meanwhile, the defects of time-consuming and laborious in synthesizing the complete sequence of scorpion toxin OpiCalcin1 are overcome, the cell transmembrane peptides can be used for preparing drug, nuclear localization sequence and probe transport carriers, and the targeting efficiency is improved. Compared with traditional scorpion toxin medicine, the synthesis of the scorpion toxin to explore the transmembrane activity provides a new selection for the drug carrier.
