Epilepsia, 36 Suppl 2, S66-S72 (1995-01-01)
After the first year of clinical experience, felbamate (FBM) appears to be a valuable antiepileptic drug (AED) for the treatment of intractable epilepsy. However, many patients experience side effects that may discourage continued usage. These may be decreased by using

Pediatric neurology, 42(6), 396-403 (2010-05-18)
The antiepileptic drug felbamate has demonstrated efficacy against a variety of seizure types in the pediatric population, particularly seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Postmarketing experience, however, revealed serious idiosyncratic adverse effects not observed during clinical trials, including aplastic anemia and

The anticonvulsant effect of felbamate (FBM) is ascribable to inhibition of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) currents. Using electrophysiological studies in rat hippocampal neurons to examine the kinetics of FBM binding to and unbinding from the NMDA channel, we show that FBM modifies
Antonino Germanò et al.
Journal of neurotrauma, 24(4), 732-744 (2007-04-19)
Increased levels of glutamate and aspartate have been detected after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) that correlate with neurological status. The NMDA receptor antagonist felbamate (FBM; 2-phenyl-1,3-propanediol dicarbamate) is an anti-epileptic drug that elicits neuroprotective effects in different experimental models of hypoxia-ischemia.

We present an implementation of a method we previously reported allowing the newer antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) rufinamide (RFN) and zonisamide (ZNS) to be simultaneously determined with lamotrigine (LTG), oxcarbazepine's (OXC) main active metabolite monohydroxycarbamazepine (MHD) and felbamate (FBM) in plasma
