摘要:
The present invention discloses modified neurotoxins with altered biological persistence. In one embodiment, the modified neurotoxins are derived from Clostridial botulinum toxins and the modification involves one or more secondary modification sites. In a BoNT/E (Botilunum Toxin serotype E) derivative, the N-terminal myristylation site GVDIAY is fused to position 15 of the BoNT/E light chain. In a BoNT/A derivative the N-terminal myristylation site GLEVSF at position 254 is deleted. Such modified neurotoxins may be employed in treating various conditions, including but not limited to muscular disorders, hiperhidrosis, and pain.

Methods for detecting BoNT/A activity in a sample, methods for screening molecules able to compete with BoNT/A receptor binding, methods for reducing BoNT/A activity in a human and methods of marketing a neurotoxin capable of selectively binding to FGFR3 to a governmental or regional regulatory authority.
摘要:
A method for administration of botulinum toxin, includes the steps of (a) selecting at least one neuromuscular blocking agent having a duration of activity shorter than neuromuscular blocking activity of botulinum toxin; (b) selecting at least one muscle of a muscle group; (c) intramuscularly injecting the selected agent into the selected muscle; (d) observing muscle relaxation in both the selected muscle and other non-selected muscles in the muscle group to determine spill-over, muscle tone and balance; (e) repeating steps (b) - (d) until a final muscle selection is found; and (f) intramuscularly injecting botulinum toxin into the final muscle selection.
摘要:
Modified neurotoxins that contain protease cleavage sites susceptible uniquely to proteases present in certain tissues are described. The toxins can be selectively activated by proteases in muscle or selectively inactivated by proteases in blood.
