Two novel N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonists, DL-(E)-2-amino-4-methyl-5-phosphono-3-pentenoic acid CPG 37849 and the corresponding 1-ethyl ester CGP 39551, were tested as anticonvulsants in DBA/2 mice and photosensitive Senegalese baboons, Papio papio. In DBA/2 mice, CGP 37849 is more potent
It is shown that (a) peripheral injections of quinolinic acid cause neuronal excitation with a latency much less than that of convulsions due to quinolinic acid and (b) peripherally injected 2-amino-7-phosphono-heptanoic acid (2APH) does antagonise neuronal excitation due to quinolinic acid applied
The effects of NMDA receptor antagonists on the convulsant action of the administration of 4-aminopyridine in the rat lateral cerebral ventricle (i.c.v. injection) and motor cerebral cortex (i.cx. injection) were studied. 4-Aminopyridine administration in both regions induced various preconvulsive
A selection of biphenyl-analogues of 2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoic acid (AP7), N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists with high affinity in vivo efficacy. The lead compound SDZ EAB 515 was found to inhibit L-phenylalanine uptake by the large neutral amino acid carrier in vitro and in vivo;
Infusions of 2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoic acid (AP7) or ketamine into the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNPR) of adult rats increase the latency of onset to seizures induced by the convulsant ether flurothyl. Nigral infusions of AP7 or ketamine in concentrations up to 10 times greater than the
Repeated administration of the beta-carboline FG 7142 to mice leads to the development of kindled convulsions. In order to investigate a role for glutamatergic mechanisms in the processes underlying FG 7142 kindling, the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist, 2-amino-7-phosphono-heptanoic acid
A simple, inexpensive and reliable microcomputer-assisted method to detect and quantify abnormal EEG spiking is described. High frequency wave forms (20-40 Hz) with high amplitude are discriminated using a beta-2 bandpass filter and a threshold comparater. The spikes are then compiled and reported
