    Abstract

    In addition to the classical microtubule inhibitors (antimitotic agents), transganglionic degenerative atrophy of central terminals of primary sensory neurons can be induced also by means of applying to a peripheral nerve basic polypeptides (Polymyxin B and Colimycin) and two basic derivatives of glutamic acid that do not exert any microtubule inhibition. This effect is independent of other pharmacological effects (histamine liberation, Ca2+ -binding, etc.) of the applied compounds, and probably it is based on a competitive reaction with nerve growth factor.
