Zonisamide (AD 810), a sulfonamide anticonvulsant, is approved for use as an adjunctive treatment in adults with partial-onset seizures. It may inhibit a carbonic anhydrase although this is not one of the main mechanisms of action. Zonisamide may act by blocking repetitive firing of voltage-gated sodium channels results in a reduction of T-type calcium channel currents, or by binding allosterically to GABA receptors. This latter action may lower the uptake of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA while increasing the uptake of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate.

Lamotrigine (BW430C) is an Anti-epileptic Agent and Mood Stabilizer. The physiologic effect of lamotrigine is by means of Decreased Central Nervous System Disorganized Electrical Activity.

Clidinium bromide (Ro 2-3773) , a synthetic anticholinergic agent, has been shown in experimental and clinical researchers to have a pronounced antisecretory and antispasmodic effect on the gastrointestinal tract. It can inhibit muscarinic actions of acetylcholine at postganglionic parasympathetic neuroeffector sites. It is used for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease and also to help relieve cramps or stomach spasms or abdominal due to colicky abdominal diverticulitis, pain, and irritable bowel syndrome.

LY2365109 hydrochloride is a potent and selective GlyT1 inhibitor, with an IC50 of 15.8 nM for glycine uptake in cells over-expressing [hGlyT1a].

(RS)-(Tetrazol-5-yl)glycine is a potent and selective N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor agonist that can induce seizure models and Fos expression in mice. Its EC50 values for GluN1/GluN2D and GluN1/GluN2A are 99 nM and 1.7 μM, respectively.

Tesmilifene fumarate (DPPE fumarate) (DPPE fumarate) is an H1C receptor antagonist.

CYM2503 is a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of the GAL2 receptor that potentiates galanin-induced IP1 production in vitro. It has no affinity for the orthosteric galanin binding site of the receptor (as measured by its inability to displace iodinated galanin, or to induce IP1 accumulation on its own).

Penicillamine (Artamine), possessing antineoplastic properties, induces apoptosis by a p53-mediated mechanism and inhibits angiogenesis by chelating with copper, a cofactor for angiogenesis. Artamine is a beta dimethyl analog of the amino acid cysteine. As a degradation product of penicillin antibiotics, Artamine chelates with heavy metals and increases their urinary excretion.

(E)-3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamic acid (O-Methylsinapic acid) is a natural compound derived from the roots and rhizomes of Notopterygium incisum.

Lvguidingan is an Anticonvulsant agent.

C-Type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP) (1-22), human, is the 1-22 fragment of the parent C-Type Natriuretic Peptide.

Bumetanide (PF 1593) is a potent sulfamoylanthranilic acid derivative belonging to the class of loop diuretics. In the brain, bumetanide may prevent seizures in neonates by blocking the bumetanide-sensitive sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter (NKCC1), thereby inhibiting chloride uptake thus, decreasing the internal chloride concentration in neurons and may block the excitatory effect of GABA in neonates.

Trimethadione (3,5,5-Trimethyloxazolidine-2,4-dione) is a dione-type anticonvulsant with antiepileptic activity.

Decanoic Acid (Caprynic acid) acts as a non-competitive AMPA receptor antagonist.

Benzolamide (CL 11366) inhibits carbonic anhydrase effectively and low-threshold calcium currents in hippocampal pyramidal neurons.

CGP 37849 is a competitive orally active N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist ((Ki = 35 nM)) with potency.CGP 37849 is an anticonvulsant in rodents and also has antidepressant and anxiolytic properties.

Licarbazepine (10,11-hydroxy-10,11 Dihydrocarbamezer) is the pharmacologically active metabolite of oxcarbazepine, a drug indicated for the treatment of partial seizures and bipolar disorders.

Pheneturide (Benuride) is the ureide class, used to treat epilepsy, and is an anticonvulsant.

Kainic acid is an excitatory amino acid receptor agonist (EC50=16.2 μM). Kainic acid is an effective excitatory toxic agent. Kainic acid induces epileptic seizures.

CFM-2, a potent and selective non-competitive antagonist of AMPAR (AMPAR), exhibits anticonvulsant activity across various seizure models.

Inflachromene (ICM) is an inhibitor of HMGB1 and HMGB expression with anti-inflammatory activity.Inflachromene reduces seizure severity in a mouse model of epilepsy by inhibiting HMGB1 translocation, inhibits endothelial proliferation through the HMGB1/2-regulated TLR4-NF-κB pathway, and inhibits autophagy by regulating Beclin 1 activity. Inflachromene can be used to study epilepsy.

Phenytoin (5,5-Diphenylhydantoin) is a hydantoin derivative and a non-sedative antiepileptic agent with anticonvulsant activity. It potentially acts by promoting sodium efflux from neurons in the motor cortex, reducing post-tetanic potentiation at synapses. This prevents cortical seizure foci from spreading to adjacent areas and stabilizes the threshold against hyperexcitability. Additionally, it appears to reduce muscle spindle sensitivity to stretch, causing muscle relaxation.

Rufinamide (E 2080), a triazole derivative, is used as voltage-gated sodium channel blocker for the treatment of seizure disorders.

3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamic acid (O-Methylsinapic acid) (TMCA) is one of the constituents of Polygalae Radix and may exert anti-seizure activity by acting at the GABAA/BZ receptor complex.
