A pharmacodynamic evaluation of midazolam as an antiepileptic compound.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Midazolam is a water soluble 1,4 benzodiazepine which is suitable for intramuscular administration. It is currently used for pre-medication and the induction of anaesthesia. Its antiepileptic properties have been evaluated by studying its effect on interictal spikes on the EEG of six adult epileptic patients. The results indicate that intramuscular midazolam 15 mg is more effective than intramuscular diazepam 10 mg in abolishing interictal spikes and as effective as intravenous diazepam 20 mg five minutes after administration.

Clinical Pharmacology of Midazolam in Neonates and Children: Effect of Disease—A Review
Midazolam is a benzodiazepine with rapid onset of action and short duration of effect. In healthy neonates the half-life (t 1/2) and the clearance (Cl) are 3.3-fold longer and 3.7-fold smaller, respectively, than in adults. The volume of distribution (Vd) is 1.1 L/kg both in neonates and adults. Midazolam is hydroxylated by CYP3A4 and CYP3A5; the activities of these enzymes surge in the liver i...
متن کاملPreparation, Characterization and Pharmacodynamic Evaluation of Fused Dispersions of Simvastatin using PEO-PPO Block Copolymer
The solubility enhancement of poorly soluble compounds is an important task in pharmaceutical technology as it leads to better bioavailability and a more efficient application. Fused dispersions (FDs) of simvastatin (SIM) using PEO-PPO block copolymer were prepared which paved the way for the formation of an amorphous product with enhanced dissolution and bioavailability. The accumulative s...

متن کاملMechanism-based modeling of the pharmacodynamic interaction of alphaxalone and midazolam in rats.
The objective of the present investigation was to characterize the pharmacodynamic interaction between the synthetic neuroactive steroid alphaxalone and the benzodiazepine midazolam. The time course of the electroencephalographic (EEG) effect (11.5-30 Hz) was determined in rats in conjunction with plasma concentrations. Alphaxalone was administered as a continuous intravenous infusion of 0, 1.2...

A series of novel indeno[1, 2-b]quinoxalin-11-ylidenamines 2-9 have been synthesized via condensation of indane[1, 2-b]quinoxalin-11-one (1) with various primary aromatic amines in presence of AcOH for 3 h. Compound 1 was synthesized by condensation of indane-1,2,3-trione with benzene-1,2-diamine in presence of AcOH. The synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, ...
