Neurotoxins

Facial Plastic Surgery, 2019
AbstractBotulinum toxin is integral to the practice of facial plastic surgery. Since it was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the temporary improvement of glabellar rhytids in 2002, botulinum toxin has achieved a growing number of off-label clinical applications. These include the management of facial rhytids, brow ptosis, excessive

Nonprotein Neurotoxins

Clinical Toxicology, 1981
Nonprotein neurotoxins are continuing to play a major role as molecular probes in studying nervous processes. They also have clinical importance as some of them, such as saxitoxin and its analogues, are the source of public health problems, or have potential use in therapy.

BIOLOGICAL NEUROTOXINS

Neurologic Clinics, 2000
The authors divide biological toxins into animal, plant, and bacterial classes and discuss each within a context of demographic, clinical and research examples. Advances in our knowledge are highlighted, and the authors relate the implications of this knowledge to target-specific neurologic involvement.

Alpha neurotoxins

Toxicon, 2013
α-Neurotoxins have been isolated from hydrophid, elapid and, more recently, colubrid snake venoms. Also referred to as postsynaptic neurotoxins or 'curare mimetic' neurotoxins, they play an important role in the capture and/or killing of prey by binding to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor on the skeletal muscle disrupting neurotransmission.

Neurotoxins Affecting Neuroexocytosis

Physiological Reviews, 2000
Nerve terminals are specific sites of action of a very large number of toxins produced by many different organisms. The mechanism of action of three groups of presynaptic neurotoxins that interfere directly with the process of neurotransmitter release is reviewed, whereas presynaptic neurotoxins acting on ion channels are not dealt with here.

Selected Neurotoxins

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1988
The small animal practitioner is faced with an infinite number of potential toxins in our modern environment. Unapproved usage of drugs and insecticides requires the practitioner to keep informed about the development of new toxic syndromes. Recreational drug toxicosis in animals is still seen with some frequency in clinical practice and should not be ...

Neurotoxins

2009
A selective neurotoxin takes many forms: as an antibody to a neurotrophin, as an alkylator, as an excitotoxin, as a blocker of requisite neuronal excitation during ontogenetic development, as a generator of oxidative stress, as an inhibitor of vital intraneuronal processes, and as an agent adversely affecting a host of multiple sites in neurons ...

Presynaptic enzymatic neurotoxins

Journal of Neurochemistry, 2006
AbstractBotulinum neurotoxins produced by anaerobic bacteria of the genus Clostridium are the most toxic proteins known, with mouse LD50 values in the 1–5 ng/kg range, and are solely responsible for the pathophysiology of botulism. These metalloproteinases enter peripheral cholinergic nerve terminals and cleave proteins of the neuroexocytosis apparatus,

Indirectly acting neurotoxins

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, 1983
The role of toxic substances in causing central nervous system dysfunction is discussed with a focus on effects which are mediated indirectly through other organ systems which affect the brain. Neurochemical measurements of brain function, and the use of neuropharmacological probes of behavior are presented with the examples of lead poisoning, as a ...

BASAL GANGLIA NEUROTOXINS

Neurologic Clinics, 2000
The epidemiology, clinical features, pathology, and mechanisms of action of basal ganglia neurotoxins are reviewed. Manganese, cyanide, hydrogen sulfide, methanol, carbon monoxide, 3-nitropropionic acid, MPTP, and annonaceae alkaloids are discussed. The probable mechanism of action for almost all basal ganglia neurotoxins is inhibition of mitochondrial
