Anticonvulsant effect of amiloride in pentetrazole-induced status epilepticus in mice.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inhibition of sodium hydrogen exchangers (NHE) has been shown to diminish seizure activity in various in vitro and in vivo models of epilepsy. In the present study, we examined the effect of amiloride, a sodium hydrogen exchanger inhibitor, against pentetrazole (PTZ)-induced status epilepticus (SE). The study was conducted in mice and status epilepticus was induced by administering ip 50 mg/kg of phenytoin followed 2 hour later by PTZ, 100 mg/kg sc. Amiloride produced dose-dependent protection against PTZ-induced SE.

Influence of agmatine on the protective action of numerous antiepileptic drugs against pentetrazole-induced seizures in mice.
The aim of this study was to assess the influence of agmatine (an endogenous neuromodulator/neurotransmitter in the brain) on the protective action of numerous classical and second-generation antiepileptic drugs (clonazepam, ethosuximide, gabapentin, phenobarbital, tiagabine, vigabatrin, and valproate) in the mouse pentetrazole-induced clonic seizure model. The results indicate that agmatine (u...

The effect of co-administration of ketamine at the sub-effective dose with diazepam, chlordiazepoxide and clonazepam on their antinociceptive and protective efficacy against pentetrazole-induced seizures were studied in mice. Ketamine alone produces dose-dependent antinociception manifested as reduction in the number of writhing episodes evoked by acetic acid. In the writhing test, the antinoci...

The influence of nitric oxide (NO) on anticonvulsant activity of diazepam and clonazepam was examined in the pentetrazole- and electroshock-induced seizure models in mice. Protective efficacy of the threshold dose of diazepam against pentetrazole-induced clonic and tonic seizures, and death was significantly increased by NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME) while 7-nitroindaz...
متن کاملInfluence of cimetidine on the anticonvulsant activity of conventional antiepileptic drugs against pentetrazole-induced seizures in mice.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of acute (1 day) and chronic (7 days) administrations of cimetidine, an H2 histamine receptor antagonist, on the protective activity of conventional antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) against pentetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizures in mice. Cimetidine (up to 100 mg/kg), given alone either acutely or chronically, did not alter significantly PTZ-induced seizu...
متن کاملInfluence of vigabatrin, a novel antiepileptic drug, on the anticonvulsant activity of conventional antiepileptics in pentetrazole-induced seizures in mice.
Vigabatrin is a novel antiepileptic drug, which increases GABA levels by irreversible inhibition of GABA-aminotransferase. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of vigabatrin on the anticonvulsant activity of valproate, ethosuximide and clonazepam against pentetrazole-induced seizures in mice. In addition, the effects of antiepileptic drugs alone or in combination with vigabatrin we...
