Botulinum Toxin Pharmacology and Practical Medical Consideration
Journal Title: Majallah-i jarrāḥī-i ustukhvān va mafāṣil-i Īrān - Year 2016, Vol 14, Issue 4
Abstract
Botulinum toxin is produced by clostridium botulinum bacteria, and has seven serotypes, some of which are pharmacologically active in human. An inactive protein is bound to this toxin, as toxin contains two distinct chains, each one with a specific characteristic. The mechanism of action is acetyl choline inhibition at the synapses. The general pharmacological and practical points for the use of this toxin will be discussed in this article without emphasis on its use in any specific field.
