The anti-convulsive action of dipropyl acetic acid (Convulex) was tested in 21 patients with grandmal seizures (GM) and/or temporal lobe attacks (TL), or with Jacksonian epilepsy. Patients were chosen according to a negative selection system. Results showed that in GM and TL seizures, Convulex
1. Contribution of nitric oxide to the convulsive seizures induced by fluoroquinolones (FQs) coadministered with 4-biphenyl acetic acid (BPAA), the active metabolite of fenbufen, was assessed in mice. 2. Enoxacin + 4-biphenyl acetic acid caused clonic seizures in all treated mice, followed by tonic
A fast and simple method for separation of 16 seizure drug substances using capillary electrophoresis in a non-aqueous separation medium is described. The separation medium consists of a mixture of acetonitrile, methanol and glycerol with ammonium acetate/acetic acid as the electrolyte. The analytes
Progabide (PGB), a gamma-amino-butyric acid receptor agonist, was administered, according to an open-label long-term design, to 40 adult patients suffering from complex partial seizures, with or without secondary generalization, whose response to carbamazepine (CBZ) monotherapy was unsatisfactory. A
We previously reported that the δ opioid receptor (DOP) agonists SNC80 and TAN-67 produce potent antidepressant-like and antinociceptive effects in rodents. However, SNC80 produced convulsive effects. Recently, we succeeded in synthesizing a novel DOP agonist called KNT-127. The present study
Changes in the hippocampal theta rhythm were used as a model in which anticonvulsant drugs may be screened for their potential to antagonize soman-induced (1xLD(50)) seizures. The zinc chelator, ethylenediaminetetra acetic acid (EDTA) (300mg/kg), and the NMDA receptor antagonist, HA-966 (60mg/kg),
We have recently shown that seizures induce significant and sustained elevations of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) in specific extrahypothalamic rat brain regions associated with epileptic foci including amygdala, hippocampus, pyriform cortex, and anterior cortex. Seizures were induced in dogs
The effects of muscimol, a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)A-receptor agonist, and aminooxy-acetic acid (AOAA), an inhibitor of GABA-converting enzyme, on tonic and absence-like seizures in spontaneously epileptic rats (SER: zi/zi, tm/tm) were investigated to elucidate whether GABAergic function
The effects of GABA-modulating drugs were assessed in a pharmacological study of amygdala-kindled seizures in the rat. Fully-kindled subjects were tested with a randomized dose regimen, including drug vehicle, for each of seven drugs. Afterdischarge duration, motor seizure latency, motor seizure
Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are associated with a low incidence of central nervous system (CNS) side effects, possibly leading to convulsions, especially when co-administered with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). Although the in vivo pro-convulsant activity of NSAIDS is essentially unknown,
In mice, the influence of small (analgesic range) doses of morphine, fentanyl, meperidine and pentazocine on the thresholds for seizures induced by electroshock and pentetrazole was studied. The antinociceptive ED50 was determined against writhing induced by acetic acid or morphine (0.43 mg/kg,
The proconvulsant effect of biphenyl acetic acid (BPAA) on several fluoroquinolones (FQs) was investigated in vivo, by measuring drug concentrations in the biophase at the onset of convulsions. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 134) were given BPAA orally, at various doses 1 h before starting FQ
A simple and rapid method for the analysis of heroin seizures by micellar electrokinetic chromatography with short-end injection is described. Separations were performed using an uncoated fused silica capillary, 50 cm x 50 microm I.D. x 360 microm O.D. with an effective separation length of 8 cm.
It was found previously that 6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline (6-MeO-THbetaC) increased brain concentration of the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT) and decreased the concentration of its metabolite 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA) at the same time the compound attenuated audiogenic
1. Vigabatrin, 50 mg kg-1, was administered orally as add-on therapy to 11 patients with drug-resistant complex partial epilepsy as a single dose, then once every third day for 2 months, every other day for 2 months and daily for 1 month. 2. Lumbar punctures were carried out prior to treatment and
