摘要:
A pharmaceutical preparation containing a complex consisting of type B botulinum neurotoxin and stabilizing proteins, both derived from C. botulinum, admixed with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is provided. The preparation is effective for inducing titratable, local, selective muscle denervation in a patient suffering from a disorder characterized by involuntary muscle spasm or contraction.
摘要:
A method of targeting therapeutic molecules to motor neurons is disclosed. In one embodiment, this method comprises the steps of (a) synthesizing a prodrug comprising a therapeutic molecule covalently bound to a polymeric delivery vehicle, and (b) conjugating the prodrug to a botulinum neurotoxin heavy chain.
摘要:
Lyophilized pharmaceutical compositions containing botulinum toxin or botulinum neurotoxin and effective amounts of trehalose and methionine have a shelf life of up to 4 months or more at room temperature and above.
摘要:
A hybrid botulinal neurotoxin is disclosed. In one embodiment, the neurotoxin comprises a combination of a botulinal neurotoxin heavy chain and light chain, wherein the light chain and heavy chain are not of the same serotype. A method for creating hybrid neurotoxins comprised of different functional domains is also disclosed.
摘要:
In vitro results indicate that trimethoprim may be ineffective against S. enteritides. However, in vivo results show that trimethoprim alone and in combination with polymyxin B sulfate is effective on S. enteritidis infections in poultry.
摘要:
A chimeric toxin is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the chimeric toxin comprises a botulinal neurotoxin heavy chain and non-clostridial toxin chain. A method of creating a chimeric toxin is also disclosed. The chimeric toxin will have utility for pharmacological treatment of neurological disorders.
摘要:
A hybrid botulinal neurotoxin is disclosed. In one embodiment, the neurotoxin comprises a combination of a botulinal neurotoxin heavy chain and light chain, wherein the light chain and heavy chain are not of the same serotype and wherein the heavy and light chains are linked by a homobifunctional sulfydryl linker. A method for creating hybrid neurotoxins comprised of different functional domains is also disclosed.
