·
pubmed:37977816
A study on the effects of aminopyridines, particularly 3,4-diaminopyridine (3,4-DAP), on ventilation and respiration in botulism reveals significant improvements in respiratory function and acid-base balance, suggesting potential as a therapeutic option and laying groundwork for further development of aminopyridine derivatives.
