## Abstract BoNT/B holotoxin (HT) from the native source is a mixture of nicked and un‐nicked forms. A previous study showed that while un‐nicked HT could be transcytosed by intestinal epithelial cells, they did not correlate this with proteolytic activity or biological effect(s). Un‐nicked HT is l

## Abstract The light chain (LC) of botulinum neurotoxin B (BoNT/B) is unable to enter target neuronal cells by itself. It is brought into the cell in association with the BoNT/B heavy chain (HC) through endocytosis. The BoNT HC‐LC subunits are held together by a single disulfide bond. Intracellula
## Abstract BoNT/B light chain is a zinc‐dependent endopeptidase. After entering its target, the neuronal cell, BoNT/B is responsible for synaptobrevin‐2 (VAMP‐2) cleavage. This results in reduced neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) release from synaptic vesicles, yielding muscular paralysis. Since th
## Abstract The IMP dehydrogenase inhibitor, tiazofurin (TR)‐2‐β‐D‐ribofuranosylthiazole‐4‐carboxamide, which exhibited oncolytic activity in patients with chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) in blast crisis was found to inhibit the growth of human neuroblastoma SK‐N‐SH cells with an IC~50~ of 4.2
