Equine Botulinum Neurotoxin C Immune FAB2 binds to botulinum toxin serotype C to prevent toxicity [FDA Label].
- Mechanism of action
Equine Botulinum Neurotoxin C Immune FAB2 is a mix of polyclonal antibodies for botulinum toxin type C [FDA Label]. It binds to the toxin with high-affinity and prevents binding to ganglioside anchorage sites and membrane-bound receptors on cholinergic nerve terminals. This prevents internalization of the toxin into the cell and ultimately prevents it from exerting its toxic effects. Due to the long-lasting effects of botulinum toxin, the antibodies must be administered before symptoms present to prevent toxicity.
Target Actions Organism ABotulinum neurotoxin type C1 antibodyClostridium botulinum - Absorption
Administration of one vial of containing at least 3000 Units produced a mean Cmax of 2.26 Units/mL. Administration of two vials produced a mean Cmax of 4.89 Units/mL [FDA Label].
- Volume of distribution
Equine Botulinum Neurotoxin C Immune FAB2 was found to have a mean Vd of 6.066 L after administration of one vial and 8.486 L after two vials [FDA Label].
- Protein binding
There is no protein binding data available.
- Metabolism
There is no metabolism data available. Equine Botulinum Neurotoxin C Immune FAB2 is assumed to be broken down similarly to other proteins and antibodies in systemic circulation.
- Route of elimination
No data is available on excretion of Equine Botulinum Neurotoxin C Immune FAB2.
- Half-life
Equine Botulinum Neurotoxin C Immune FAB2 was observed to have a mean half life of 29.6 h after administration of one vial and 45.6 h after two vials [FDA Label].
- Clearance
Equine Botulinum Neurotoxin C Immune FAB2 was observed to have a mean clearance rate of 144 mL/h after administration of one vial and 127 mL/h after two.

Equine Botulinum Neurotoxin C Immune FAB2 may produce anaphylaxis or anaphylactoid reactions particularly in patients who have previously been exposed to equine-derived antivenom or antitoxins or patient with preexisting hypersensitivity to horses, asthma, or hay fever [FDA Label]. Serum sickness reactions may present 10-21 days after infusion. Various infusion reactions may occur dependent on the rate of infusion. These include chills, fever, headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Arthralgia, myalgia, and vasovagal reactions may also occur independently of infusion rate. Because the antibodies are derived from equine plasma there is a risk of infectious disease transmission although this is controlled through manufacturing processes.

- General Function
- Botulinum neurotoxin type C Botulinum toxin causes flaccid paralysis by inhibiting neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) release from the presynaptic membranes of nerve terminals of the eukaryotic host skeletal and autonomic nervous system, with frequent heart or respiratory failure (PubMed:16252491, PubMed:7901002, PubMed:8611567). Is unique among characterized BoNTs in having 2 substrates, syntaxin (STX) and SNAP25 (PubMed:17718519, PubMed:7737992, PubMed:7901002, PubMed:8611567, PubMed:9886085). Precursor of botulinum neurotoxin C which unlike most BoNTs seems not to have a proteinaceous coreceptor, and instead recognizes 2 different complex polysialylated gangliosides found on neural tissue probably found in synaptic vesicles (PubMed:21483489, PubMed:23027864). Upon synaptic vesicle recycling the toxin is taken up via the endocytic pathway. When the pH of the toxin-containing endosome drops a structural rearrangement occurs so that the N-terminus of the heavy chain (HC) forms pores that allows the light chain (LC) to translocate into the cytosol (By similarity). Once in the cytosol the disulfide bond linking the 2 subunits is reduced and LC cleaves its target protein on synaptic vesicles, preventing their fusion with the cytoplasmic membrane and thus neurotransmitter release (By similarity). In vitro the whole toxin only has protease activity after reduction (PubMed:8611567). Electrical stimulation increases uptake of toxin, presumably by transiently exposing a receptor usually found in eukaryotic target synaptic vesicles (PubMed:19650874). Forms ion-conducting channels at around pH 6.1 (PubMed:2424493). Requires complex eukaryotic host polysialogangliosides for full neurotoxicity (PubMed:19650874, PubMed:21483489). Synaptic vesicle glycoproteins (SV2) do not seem to act as its receptor (PubMed:21483489).
