7694769 Tusell JM, Barron S, Serratosa J: Anticonvulsant activity of delta-HCH, calcium channel blockers and calmodulin antagonists in seizures induced by lindane and other convulsant drugs. Brain Res. 1993 Sep 17;622(1-2):99-104.

The anticonvulsant activity of delta-HCH and of a calmodulin antagonist, W-7 were investigated on convulsions induced in mice by lindane (ED100 100 mg/kg), by GABAergic antagonists PTZ (ED100 60 mg/kg) and PTX (ED100 4 mg/kg), by calcium channel agonist BAY-K-8644 (ED100 5 mg/kg), by two agonists of excitatory amino acid receptors, kainic acid (ED100 80 mg/kg) and NMDA (ED100 160 mg/kg and by the atypical benzodiazepine Ro 5-4864 (ED100 40 mg/kg).

To elucidate possible mechanisms of endogenous BDNF increase, changes in levels of BDNF were studied in the rat brain following systemic administration of various convulsant agents; excitotoxic glutamate agonists, NMDA, kainic acid and (+/-)-alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA); GABA receptor antagonists, picrotoxin, pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) and lindane (gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane); and L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel agonist, BAY-K 8644.

Expression of inducible heat shock protein-70 mRNA (hsp-70 mRNA) was studied in the rat brain following systemic administration of different convulsant agents: an L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel agonist, (+/-)-BAY K 8644 (BAY-K); the excitotoxic glutamate agonists kainic acid and N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA); and the GABAA receptor complex antagonists pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) and lindane (gamma-hexaclorocyclohexane).

The anticonvulsant activity of calmodulin antagonist W-7, was investigated on convulsions induced in mice by the insecticide lindane and by the calcium channel agonist BayK-8644.

We studied cell membrane potential (CMP), noradrenalin (NA) uptake, acetylcholine esterase (AChE) activity, acetylcholine receptor (AChR) signalling and voltage-operated calcium channel (VOCC) function in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells after exposure to 23 pharmaceuticals, pesticides or industrial chemicals.
The CMP assay was the most sensitive assay, identifying eight chemicals as neurotoxic alerts and improving the LC50 correlation for nicotine, lindane, atropine and methadone.

Lymphocyte proliferation was inhibited during both the phases of immune response by verapamil, a calcium channel blocker, and by trifluoperazine, a calmodulin inhibitor.
