In addition to reducing seizures, anti-epileptic treatments should preserve physiological network activity. Here, we used a thalamocortical slice preparation displaying physiological slow oscillations to investigate the effects of anticonvulsant drugs on physiological activity and epileptiform activity in two pharmacological epilepsy
The first highly potent and selective PDE8 inhibitors are disclosed. The initial tetrahydroisoquinoline hit was transformed into a nipecotic amide series in order to address a reactive metabolite issue. Reduction of lipophilicity to address metabolic liabilities uncovered an interesting diastereomer-dependent
Zolpidem is a widely prescribed sleep aid with relative selectivity for GABA(A) receptors containing alpha1-3 subunits. We examined the effects of zolpidem on the inhibitory currents mediated by GABA(A) receptors using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings from DMV neurons in transverse brainstem

In this work we quantified the in vitro calibration relationships between high frequency electrical stimulation and GABA and glutamate release in both mature retinoic acid differentiated P19 neurons and immortalized embryonic cortical cells engineered to express glutamic acid decarboxylase, GAD65.
A series of new (R)-1-(2-diarylmethylthio/sulfinyl)ethyl-piperidine-3-carboxylic acid hydrochlorides 5a-d/6a-d and (R)-1-(3-diarylmethylthio)propyl-piperidine-3-carboxylic acid hydrochlorides 5'a-d were synthesized and evaluated as gamma-aminobutyric acid uptake inhibitors through cultured cell lines expressing mouse GAT1. Biological screening results demonstrated that the compounds 6a-d with diarylmethylsulfinyl ethyl
