The damaging action of a number of bacterial toxins is determined by their capacity for blocking the specific functions of regulatory proteins of eukaryotic cells by ADP-ribosylation. Experiments, made with the use of type B botulinic toxin and 3,N-butyrylaminobenzamide as an example, have demonstrated that specific ADP-ribosylation inhibitors are capable of making up a new group of highly active antagonists of microbial toxins.
