The current study determined the dose-response relationship for inhibition of muscle force of two commercially available botulinum neurotoxin type-A(BoNTA) preparations (Botox(R) and Neuronox(R)) in a murine model and characterized the time course of recovery from the toxin-induced muscle paralysis. The effect of freezing reconstituted toxin on toxin potency was also determined. The gastrocnemius muscles in male CD-1 mice were injected with either saline or BoNTA (0.3-3.0 U/kg), and muscle force generation was examined following stimulation of the tibial nerve (single twitch and 15-200 Hz tetany). Botox and Neuronox produced nearly equivalent decrements in muscle force (30%-90%) at 4 days after toxin injection. At 28 days after injection (1 U/kg), muscle force had recovered from the effects of both toxin preparations. Maintaining reconstituted toxin at -80 degrees C for up to 5 months did not result in significant loss of toxin activity. The results of this study suggest that Botox and Neuronox produce equivalent responses in a murine model, and, in contrast to other models, muscle recovery is rapid with doses of toxin that produce less than maximal decrements in muscle force.
