Topic: Neurotoxin



  
 Patent 6,464,986
Prior to our invention is was not known that a neurotoxin, such as a botulinum toxin, could be used to effectively treat pain, where the pain is not due to a muscle spasm or hypertonic muscle condition.
Surprising we have discovered that a neurotoxin which has not been conjugated, attached, adhered to or fused with a neuronal targeting moiety can be peripherally administered according to the methods of the present invention to treat pain.
Methods for treating a non-spasm caused pain by peripheral administration to a patient of a therapeutically effective amount of a neurotoxin, such as a botulinum toxin.

 UF STUDY: NEUROTOXIN ELIMINATES PAIN-TRANSMITTING NERVE CELLS IN RATS WITH SPINAL CORD INJURY
After the neurotoxin was administered, researchers noted delays in the expected onset and severity of pain-associated excessive grooming behavior.
They injected the neurotoxin into the area surrounding spinal cord injury in more than 60 rats, either at the time of injury or later, after the animals began exhibiting a grooming behavior associated with pain.
UF researchers identified a population of nerve cells in the spinal cord essential to relaying messages to the brain responsible for the referred pain sensation many patients describe after spinal cord injury.

 RNASE2 - ribonuclease, RNase A family, 2 (liver, eosinophil-derived neurotoxin)
Eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN), a basic ribonuclease found in the large specific granules of eosinophils, belongs to the pancreatic RNase A family.
This technique provides a means of accurately locating the sites of major basic protein, ECP, and EDN deposition and thus of identifying eosinophil degranulation patterns in human disease.
In rats, 8 homologues of human ECP and EDN have been identified.

 Patent 6,383,509
A controlled release system within the scope of our invention comprises a polymeric matrix, and a quantity of neurotoxin located within the polymeric matrix, wherein fractional amounts of the neurotoxin can be released from the polymeric matrix over a prolonged period of time.
Additionally, a method for using a continuous release system within the scope of our invention can comprise injection or implantation of a controlled release system which includes a polymeric matrix, thereby treating a movement disorder or a disorder influenced by cholinergic innervation.
Additionally, the neurotoxin can be a presynaptic neurotoxin, such as a Clostridial neurotoxin.

 Substrate Recognition Strategy for Botulinum Neurotoxin
The muscle paralysis is caused by the neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which can be ingested with contaminated food, enter the body through wounds, or (in the case of infants where there is little competition from other microbes) germinate in the intestine from spores.
Given early after onset of symptoms, an antitoxin exists that can prevent further damage, but a more effective treatment for this and other neurotoxin-caused illnesses, such as tetanus, await a more detailed understanding of how the toxin works at the molecular level.
Clostridal neurotoxins (CNTs) are the causative agents of the neuroparalytic diseases botulism and tetanus.

 Why the cobra is resistant to its own venom? - Dr. Zoltan Takacs
This difference may mean that the neurotoxin can not recognize the receptor in cobras, as it can recognize in mammals.
However, the cobras also have this receptor on the surface of their own muscle cells, but still they are completely resistant to their own neurotoxins.
They act by binding to a target, a receptor, on the surface of the muscle cell, therefore preventing the communication between the nerve and muscle that results in a paralysis and may easily lead to death.

Neurotoxic effects can include behavior changes, seizures, as well as wide range of effects, including death.
A neurotoxin is a toxic agent or substance that inhibits, damages or destroys the tissues of the nervous system, especially neurons, the conducting cells of your body's central nervous system.
The potential for long-lasting or permanent effects from exposure means you should avoid the use of neurotoxins whenever possible.
