  • Patent number: 6573241
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a therapeutic agent to be administered intramuscularly for suppressing snoring noises a high-purity Clostridium toxin BoNT/A or TeNT or at least one of a high-purity Clostridium toxin BoNT/B, BoNT/C1, BoNT/D, BoNT/E, BoNT/F and BoNT/G is added to a carrier. In an alternative, one or more hybrid proteins as a Clostridium toxin, having a light subunit of a Clostridium toxin of the following group and a heavy subunit of a different Clostridium toxin of the same following group, which group contains BoNT/A, BoNT/B, BoNT/C1, BoNT/D, BoNT/E, BoNT/F, BoNT/G and TeNT, are added to a carrier. According to another alternative, a complex, containing a Clostridium toxin or a hybrid protein, and further containing one or more therapeutically well-tolerated hemagglutinins and/or pharmaceutically well-tolerated non-toxic proteins, is added to a carrier. The carrier can be an aqueous solution, a saline solution, or liposomes.
