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

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.

Felbamate (FBM) is a new antiepileptic drug (AED) that is often effective in seizure disorders refractory to other treatments; its use has been greatly restricted after cases of aplastic anemia were reported. To elucidate the putative association between FBM and

Felbamate (FBM) is a potent nonsedative anticonvulsant whose clinical effect is chiefly related to gating modification (and thus use-dependent inhibition) rather than pore block of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) channels at pH 7.4. Using whole-cell recording in rat hippocampal neurons, we examined

An expert panel convened to evaluate data and review current clinical practices regarding the novel antiepileptic drug (AED) felbamate. Felbamate has demonstrated efficacy against a variety of refractory seizures types, including seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, but postmarketing experience revealed
