Botox could be used alongside chemotherapy and radiation to fight cancer, new research has suggested. The cosmetic treatment produced by Allergan, which is normally used to smooth wrinkles, was found to destroy resistant cancer cells in tests on mice.

Professor Bernard Gallez from Louvain University in Brussels injected botulinum neurotoxin type A, otherwise known as Botox, into two types of cancerous tumours in mice. After injecting the tumours they were then examined for three days. The team found it could slow the growth of the tumour and hindered the action of the neurotransmitters which the tumours rely on to grow.

A major obstacle in the treatment of infections and other diseases of the brain is the blood-brain barrier, which prevents systemically delivered therapeutic drugs from reaching the brain.

Grantees of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, have now shown that a short protein (peptide) from the rabies virus can carry a strip of therapeutic material into the brain via intravenous administration. Once delivered to the nerve cells of the brain, the strip, called a small interfering RNA (siRNA), was shown to protect mice from infection caused by the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV).

ROCKVILLE, Md., Oct. 3 — The FDA has clarified reports by some major media suggesting that the agency has plans for new regulations on over-the-counter cough and cold medications for children.

In an unusual press release, the agency pointed out that the recommendations it posted on its Website, as part of a 356-page briefing document, were merely unvarnished views of staffers. They were drafted in preparation for deliberations a couple of weeks hence by the FDA’s Nonprescription Drug Advisory Committee on over-the-counter cough and cold medications.

Contrary to the impression conveyed by the press reports, the FDA said, nothing had happened yet. The staff recommendations to discourage decongestant use by children younger than two years old, and antihistamines by those younger than six, were essentially talking points for a meeting that hasn’t happened.
