Recombinant botulinum toxin as a new stage in the development of botulinum toxin therapy. Possibilities and perspectives of use in neurological practice by R. K. Shikhkerimov, E. V. Istomina

“…The mechanism of action of all BNT serotypes is presynaptic blockade of SNARE transport proteins (Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor [NSF] Attachment Protein Receptor), as a result of which the release of acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft is disrupted and neuromuscular transmission is blocked.Each botulinum toxin serotype selectively binds to its own presynaptic membrane receptor and causes cleavage of its own SNARE protein. …”

PHARMACOTHERAPY FOR RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: NEW STRATEGY, NEW TARGETS by E. L. Nasonov

“…This is determined by a lack of sensitive and specific diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in the early stage of the disease and, most importantly, by the heterogeneity of immunopathogenesis mechanisms in both at the onset of RA and during its progression, which make the personalization of therapy difficult in the patients. Selective block of inflammatory mediators with innovative medicines is frequently associated with primary inefficiency, secondary drug resistance, the development of generalized immunosuppression, the paradoxical activation of an autoimmune process, and the aggravation of comorbidities. …”
