Epilepsy & behavior : E&B, 14(3), 522-528 (2008-12-30)
An international trial comparing remacemide hydrochloride with carbamazepine was undertaken in individuals with newly diagnosed epilepsy using a novel double-blind, parallel-group, double triangular sequential design. Patients with two or more partial or generalized tonic-clonic seizures in the previous year were

Seizure, 11(2), 114-123 (2002-04-12)
Remacemide hydrochloride is a low-affinity, non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor channel blocker, under investigation in epilepsy. This double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre study assessed the safety and efficacy of remacemide hydrochloride or placebo, as adjunctive therapy, in 252 adult patients with refractory

Neurotoxicology and teratology, 29(3), 348-359 (2007-02-13)
The effects of chronic exposure to ketamine or remacemide on the acquisition and performance of food-reinforced operant behaviors was assessed in female Sprague-Dawley rats. Ketamine is an anesthetic N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, whereas remacemide is an active central nervous system
