Research Abstract |
To explore the possible clinical applications of botulinum neurotoxin to intractable brain disorders, we investigated whether or not the benefits of A2-botulinum neurotoxin(A2NTX) or cell-permeable C3 enzyme(Tat-C3) are exerted in several intractable brain disorders-model in rodents. Here we show the potent effectiveness of A2NTX against several types of seizer in mice or of 6-OHDA-elicited parkinsonian-like motor dysfunctions in rats. Additionally, preliminary study using brain ischemia indicates the neuroprotective effects in rats treated with Tat-C3.These results suggest that both A2NTX and Tat-C3 may indicate the beneficial possibility of medical treatments with intractable brain disorders such as epilepsy, Parkinson disease, and ischemic stroke.
