Recombinant Botulinum Neurotoxin
A scalable recombinant botulinum toxin production platform enabling rapid and safe engineering through recombinant expression.
Recombinant BoNT(rBoNT)
Conventional botulinum toxin(BoNT) products have faced inherent limitations due to their reliance on naturally occurring strains of Clostridium botulinum strains for production. MVRIX overcomes these constraints by producing botulium toxin using E. coli as a host strain, unlocking the full and virtually unlimited potential of botulinum Toxin.
Conventional BoNT
Difficulty securing strains with desired properties
Classfied High-risk biological agent, requiring strict safety control
Limited flexibility for structural and functional modification
Conventional botulinum toxin products are produced only from naturally occurring strains of Clostridium botulinum. However, such strains are extremely rare in nature, and securing diverse types suitable for pharmaceutical use remains an even greater challenge.
Recombinant BoNT
Flexible strain origin, easier IP protection
Safe and rapid production process
Engineering-driven performance enhancement
Recombinant botulinum neurotoxins ensure high safety through an E. coli–based production process and enable diverse performance enhancements through precise engineering.
Advantages
Core toxins resistant to immunity
Core toxins can be produced quickly and safely without inducing resistance.
Improved botulinum toxins
Botulinum toxins can be developed with faster onset and longer duration of action.
Domain engineering
By engineering different domains of botulinum toxins, their indications can be expanded.
Improved
Production system
-
We use E. coli as the host to eliminate the risk of strain disputes and to produce core toxins with a very low likelihood of resistance.
-
The recombinant production process improves safety and maximizes efficiency by shortening production timelines.
Overexpression
Broader Application
Various serotypes can be produced in E. coli, and with our engineering techniques, they can be adapted to a wide range of indications, from aesthetic use to medical applications.
Botulinum toxin consists of three core domains: LC, Hn, and Hc.
