Pharmacodynamic interaction studies with topiramate in the pentylenetetrazol and maximal electroshock seizure models
There is emerging evidence to support the efficacy of some antiepileptic drug (AED) combinations in refractory epilepsy. Definitive clinical studies are, however, difficult to perform. Experimental seizure models can be employed to identify potentially useful combinations for subsequent clinical evaluation. We have investigated the anticonvulsant effects of topiramate (TPM) in combination with ...
متن کاملGabapentin synergistically interacts with topiramate in the mouse maximal electroshock seizure model: an isobolographic analysis.
The anticonvulsant effects produced by topiramate (TPM) and gabapentin (GBP)--two second-generation antiepileptic drugs, in numerous fixed-ratio combinations of 8:1, 4:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:4 and 1:8 were examined by isobolographic analysis in the mouse maximal electroshock seizure (MES) model. Results indicate that the combinations of TPM and GBP at the fixed-ratios of 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:4 and 1:8...
متن کاملAnticonvulsant Activity of Viola tricolor against Seizures Induced by Pentylenetetrazol and Maximal Electroshock in Mice
Background: Recently, there has been much more interest in the use of medicinal plants in search of novel therapies for human neurodegenerative diseases such as epilepsy. In the present study, we investigated the anticonvulsant effects of Viola tricolor (V. tricolor) on seizure models induced by pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) and maximal electroshock stimulation (MES). Methods: Totally, 260 mice were ...
متن کاملThe role of BK channels in antiseizure action of the CB1 receptor agonist ACEA in maximal electroshock and pentylenetetrazole models of seizure in mice
The anticonvulsant effect of cannabinoid compound has been shown in various models of seizure. On the other hand, there are controversial findings about the role of large conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK) channels in the pathogenesis of epilepsy. In this study, the effect of arachidonyl-2′-chloroethylamide (ACEA), a CB1 receptor agonist, and a BK channel antagonist, paxilline, either...
