Although the antiepileptic properties of α-substituted lactams, acetamides, and cyclic imides have been known for over 60 years, the mechanism by which they act remains unclear. I report here that these compounds bind to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and

1. Currents evoked by applications of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) to acutely dissociated thalamic neurones were analysed by voltage-clamp techniques, and the effects of the anticonvulsant succinimides ethosuximide (ES) and alpha-methyl-alpha-phenylsuccinimide (MPS) and the convulsants tetramethylsuccinimide (TMS), picrotoxin, pentylenetetrazol (PTZ), and
Therapeutic drug monitoring, 17(3), 280-286 (1995-06-01)
Analysis of desmethylmethsuximide by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is described. After adding an internal standard (IS), 200 microliters of plasma was buffered to pH 4.5 and extracted with dichloroethane. The organic solvent was then evaporated to dryness and the residue
Therapeutic drug monitoring, 11(3), 337-342 (1989-01-01)
N-Desmethylmethsuximide (NDM), the active metabolite of the antiepileptic agent methsuximide, has been analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in the past. This study compares methods using two commercially available immunoassays for ethosuximide, the enzyme multiplied immunoassay technique
Journal of neurophysiology, 70(1), 20-27 (1993-07-01)
1. The alterations of voltage-sensitive calcium currents produced in thalamic cells by injury were investigated under voltage clamp using patch-clamp recordings in the whole-cell configuration. 2. One day after unilateral cortical ablation in immature rats (postnatal day 7), low-threshold transient
