Montelukast reduces seizures in pentylenetetrazol-kindled mice.
Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) have been implicated in seizures and kindling; however, the effect of CysLT receptor antagonists on seizure frequency in kindled animals and changes in CysLT receptor expression after pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced kindling have not been investigated. In this study, we evaluated whether the CysLT1 inverse agonist montelukast, and a classical anticonvulsant, phen...
متن کاملIvabradine Reduces Seizures in Pentylenetetrazol- Kindled Mice
Methods: Forty Mice were randomly allocated into 4 equal groups; control, PTZ, diazepam (4mg/kg) and ivabradine (10 mg/kg) groups. Kindling model was produced by repeated i.p. administration of PTZ (40mg/kg), every other day for 9 days. Repeated PTZ treatment progressively increased the seizure score with the maximum score reached on day 9. Diazepam and ivabradine were administered intraperiton...

While the treatment was found to be highly effective, several adverse effects are associated with this compound. Among numerous central nervous system-related untoward effects, proconvulsant activity was reported. The purpose of this study was to ass...
