  • Publication number: 20250017855
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition, method of making and treating, comprising one or more proteins of Clostridium botulinum in a nano-emulsion for topical delivery to treat primarily skin disorders. In an embodiment, the nano-emuslisons are encapsulated microspheres and nanospheres comprising: propylene glycol, phenoxyethanol, sodium hyaluronate, caprylic/capric triglyceride, hydrogenated castor oil, span-80, and saponin, with water. A method of making the nanoemulsions, comprises: (1) preparing a solution A by mixing sodium hyaluronate, propylene glycol, Tween-80 and saponin in water by continuous stirring; (2) preparing a solution B by mixing phenoxy ethanol and carylic acid, or capric triglyceride, together; (3) mixing B into A by continuous stirring for 15 minutes to form solution C; (4) mixing Botulinum toxin and 10 mM Sodium Phosphate buffer to a pH of 7.1, and adding to solution C; and (5) stirring solution C at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.

  • Patent number: 12194090
    Abstract: A recombinant SARS-CoV2 protein-based vaccine, and method of immunizing, is developed by either embedding the epitopes/domains, or chemically attaching, to an already established vaccine candidate, such as a detoxified recombinant tetanus neurotoxin (DrTeNT), to develop a novel vaccine to immunize against SARS-CoV2. The developed vaccine will have three novel contributions compared to the present vaccine technology; a) providing a novel and very effective vaccine platform; b) priming with DrTeNT will prepare the host immune system for better response; and c) oral delivery of the vaccine candidate with a group of neurotoxin binding proteins (NAPs) from Clostridium sp. A Detoxified recombinant tetanus neurotoxin (DrTeNT) is prepared by mutation of the active site amino acid residues is an effective vaccine candidate, and is to be used for embedding epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 virus protein for vaccination against Covid-19. DrTeNT is a risk-free vaccine, free of formalin or any other chemical adjuvants.

  • Publication number: 20220390461
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for detecting and assaying Clostridium neurotoxins and identification of serotypes of botulinum neurotoxins in various food matrices and clinical samples. This method is also used for detection of BoNT inside the neuronal and epithelial cells. The method comprises detecting and assaying the presence of a Clostridium neurotoxin in a sample by: exposing the sample containing a Clostridium neurotoxin to a sample comprising a novel SNAMPXIN/SNAMP universal recombinant substrate fusion protein capable of producing a detectable FRET, following cleavage; detecting and assaying the presence of the Clostridium neurotoxin by measuring a change in the energy transfer or the luminescence signal; and detecting and assaying an electrophoretic mobility pattern of one or more cleaved protein bands or a degraded protein, using a high throughput automated system to identify the different serotypes of the Clostridium neurotoxin.

  • Publication number: 20210346292
    Abstract: The main aspect of present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition to increase the stability of liquid formulation of botulinum toxin and related proteins. The present invention provides a method to stabilize toxin in liquid formulation. Lipid based drug delivery system is known to increase the bioavailability of drugs (Amidon et al., 1995; Jannin et al., 2008). We investigated the stability of BoNT/A toxin and complex. We used two formulations in liquid phase: combination of lipids and liposomes, with two different storage conditions: 4° C. and 25° C. The present invention also provides a method for efficient delivery of botulinum toxin through skin as a topical application.
