We previously identified vitamin B6 deficiency in a child presenting with seizures whose primary diagnosis was the inherited disorder hyperprolinemia type II. This is an unrecognized association, which was not explained by diet or medication. We hypothesized that pyridoxal phosphate (vitamin B6
Excitatory amino acid (EAA)-like and excitotoxic properties of the secondary metabolite of cyanide, 2-iminothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, (2-ICA) were evaluated because of its possible role in cyanide-induced neurotoxicity. Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injections of 2-ICA in mice produced
We previously demonstrated that 2-iminothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (2-ICA), formed by cyanide reacting with cysteine, caused glutamate antagonist-sensitive seizures when injected i.c.v. (intracerebroventricular) in mice and produced hippocampal CA1 damage following i.c.v. infusion in rats. In
Single administration of PCA-Mg2+ (200 mg/kg, s.c.) increased the latency and shortened the duration of seizures produced by systemic injection of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) in mice. Mortality was reduced in mice pretreated with PCA-Mg2+. Single or repeated (twice a day for 5 days) injections of
Microdialysis experiments performed in the dorsal hippocampus of freely moving rats showed that L-(E)-4-(3-phosphono-2-propenyl)piperazine-2-carboxylic acid (L-CPPene) is 10 times as potent as D-CPPene in inhibiting potassium-induced increases in extracellular levels of aspartate and glutamate. In
Spiro[4.5]decane-2-carboxylic acid (12a), spiro[4.5]decane-2,2-dicarboxylic acid (11a), spiro[4.6]undecane-2-carboxylic acid (12b), spiro[4.6]undecane- 2,2-dicarboxylic acid (11b), and spiro[4.6]undecane-2-acetic acid (13) were synthesized by an improved method and evaluated for anticonvulsant
Valproic acid and several structurally related carboxylic acids and tetrazole analogues have been shown to antagonize seizures induced by pentylenetetrazole in mice. To investigate the influence of the alkyl substituents on the anticonvulsant activity, the octanol-water partition coefficients and
The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of the spiro carboxylic acid, spiro[4.6]undecane-2-carboxylic acid (SUCA, ADD 93024), were investigated in rats and compared with those of the standard anticonvulsant carboxylic acid, valproate (VPA). The clearance of SUCA was dose-dependent,
D-(-)4-(3-phosphonopropyl)piperazine-2-carboxylic acid (D-CPP) and its unsaturated analogue (D(-)(E)-4-(3-phosphonoprop-2-enyl) piperazine-2-carboxylic acid (D-CPPene) have been administered to DBA/2 mice (intracerebroventricularly, i.c.v., intraperitoneally, i.p., and orally, p.o.) and to
1. A putative agonist for the strychnine-sensitive glycine receptor picolinic acid was tested for its anticonvulsant activities in mice and muscle-relaxant activities in rats and compared with indole-2-carboxylic acid (I2CA), an antagonist for the strychnine-insensitive glycine receptor. Their
A series of tricyclic indole-2-carboxylic acid derivatives were synthesized and evaluated by the radioligand binding assay and the anticonvulsant effects in the mouse NMDA-induced seizure model. Among them, derivatives of 3S-(-)-4 such as 3a, 3f, and 3g which had certain zwitterionic anilides showed
The effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) beta-carboline carboxylic acid ethyl ester (beta-CCE) and its free acid on the protective effects of diazepam against leptazol- and R05-3663-induced convulsions were investigated in mice and compared with their effects on the antileptazol effect of sodium
OBJECTIVE
Our study focuses on the design and synthesis of a new piperazinic derivate, 4-(1-phenyl-1h-Pyrazol-4-Ylmethyl)-Piperazine-1-Carboxylic Acid Ethyl ester (LQFM008), and evaluation of its anxiolytic-like profile in Swiss mice.
METHODS
LQFM008 was evaluated in a screening test of the central
A novel series of 2- and 9-disubstituted heterocyclic-fused 4-oxo-indeno[1,2-e]pyrazin derivatives was synthesized. One of them, the 9-(1H-tetrazol-5-ylmethyl)-4-oxo-5,10-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]indeno[1,2-e]pyrazin-2-yl phosphonic acid 4i exhibited a strong and a selective binding affinity for the
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to evaluate an interaction of two competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-receptor antagonists, LY 235959 l(-)-3R,4aS,6R,8aR-6-(phosphonomethyl)-decahydroiso-qu inoline-3-carboxylic acid; < or = 0.5 mg/kg] or LY 233053 cis-(+/-)-4-[(2H-tetrazol-5-yl)
