Botulinum Toxin-Chitosan Nanoparticles Prevent Arrhythmia in Experimental Rat Models

Abstract: Several experimental studies have recently demonstrated that temporary autonomic block using botulinum toxin (BoNT/A1) might be a novel option for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. However, the assessment of antiarrhythmic properties of BoNT has so far been limited, relying exclusively on vagal stimulation and rapid atrial pacing models. The present study examined the antiarrhythmic effect of specially formulated BoNT/A1-chitosan nanoparticles (BTN) in calcium chloride-, barium chloride- and electrically i… Show more

“…Botulinum toxin (BoTN) is a neurotoxin that acts on neural synapses, blocking the release of acetylcholine-containing synaptic vesicles from the presynaptic membrane, reducing vagus-induced shortening of the atrial effective refractory period and preventing autonomic remodeling ( 84 , 85 ). The use of BoNT to block GPs is temporary, and there is no permanent structural damage; such an effect is favorable.…”
