anticonvulsant agent 2

Anticonvulsant agent 2 is a potent, orally active anticonvulsant demonstrating antiepileptic activity in a drug-resistant epilepsy model.

Anticonvulsant agent 1 is a chemical compound with potent anticonvulsant properties.

2-Acetonaphthone (beta-Naphthyl methyl ketone) is a fragrance, anticonvulsant, and antimicrobial agent. It has an onion type flavor and a sulfurous type odor.

N-(2-Chloro-6-methylphenyl)-N'-4-pyridinylurea is an anticonvulsant agent, treatment of generalized tonic-clonic and partial seizures.

3-Methyl-GABA, an anticonvulsant agent [1] [2], acts as a potent activator of GABA aminotransferase, fits the binding pocket of the GABA A receptor (GABAaR), and activates L-glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD).

Zonisamide-13C2,15N is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of zonisamide by GC- or LC-MS. Zonisamide is an antiepileptic agent.1 It selectively inhibits the repeated firing of sodium channels (IC50 = 2 μg/ml) in mouse embryo spinal cord neurons and inhibits spontaneous channel firing when used at concentrations greater than 10 μg/ml.2 In rat cerebral cortex neurons, zonisamide (1-1,000 μM) inhibits T-type calcium channels with a maximum reduction of 60% of the calcium current.3 Zonisamide inhibits H. pylori recombinant carbonic anhydrase (CA) and the human CA isoforms I, II, and V with Ki values of 218, 56, 35, and 21 nM, respectively.4,5 In mice, it has anticonvulsant activity against maximal electroshock seizure (MES) and pentylenetetrazole-induced maximal, but not minimal, seizures (ED50s = 19.6, 9.3, and >500 mg/kg, respectively). Zonisamide (40 mg/kg, p.o.) prevents MPTP-induced decreases in the levels of dopamine , but not homovanillic acid or dihydroxyphenyl acetic acid , and increases MPTP-induced decreases in the dopamine turnover rate in mouse striatum in a model of Parkinson's disease.6 Formulations containing zonisamide have been used in the treatment of partial seizures in adults with epilepsy. |1.

Lamotrigine hydrate is an effective oral active anticonvulsant or antiepileptic agent that selectively blocks voltage-gated Na + channels, stabilizes presynaptic neuronal membranes and inhibits glutamate release. Lamotrigine hydrate can be used in epilepsy, focal seizure, et al [1] [2].

Anticonvulsant agent 3, a 2-amino derivative, exhibits anticonvulsant activity [1].
