Swiader M, Gasior M, Wielosz M, Czuczwar SJ: Influence of some convulsant agents on the protective activity of a novel antiepileptic drug, felbamate, against maximal electroshock in mice. J Neurobiol. 1997 Jun 5;32(6):579-92.
The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of strychnine, as well as bicuculline and picrotoxin on the anticonvulsant action of felbamate against maximal electroshock (MES)-induced seizures in mice. Strychnine (up to 0.5 mg/kg), bicuculline (up to 2 mg/kg) and picrotoxin (3 mg/kg) did not affect the seizure threshold. However, strychnine (0.25-0.5 mg/kg) and picrotoxin (3 mg/kg) impaired the protective activity of felbamate against MES. It may be concluded that GABAergic inhibition and strychnine-insensitive glycine receptor-mediated events may contribute to the anticonvulsant activity of felbamate. |
