Synthetic route optimization of Sumepirin antiepileptic drug candidate

Antiepileptic drug actions.

Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) vary in their efficacy against generalized tonic-clonic, myoclonic, and absence seizures, suggesting different mechanisms of action. Phenytoin (PHT), carbamazepine (CBZ), and valproate (VPA) reduced the ability of mouse central neurons to sustain high-frequency repetitive firing of action potentials (SRF) at therapeutic free serum concentrations. Phenobarbital (PB) an...

Plasticity of antiepileptic drug targets.

The mechanisms underlying the development of drug resistance in epilepsy are complex and, at this time, not fully understood. It is widely accepted that the efficacy of an antiepileptic drug (AED) is determined by its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and bind to intraparenchymal target sites. According to the target hypothesis, pharmacoresistance occurs when target sites are struc...

Antiepileptic drug mechanisms of action.

Established antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) decrease membrane excitability by interacting with neurotransmitter receptors or ion channels. AEDs developed before 1980 appear to act on sodium channels, gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors, or calcium channels. Benzodiazepines and barbiturates enhance GABAA receptor-mediated inhibition. Phenytoin (PHT), carbamazepine (CBZ), and possibly val...
