Description
Carisbamate is an antiepileptic agent.,
In vivo, administration of carisbamate (10-60 mg/kg) dose-dependently reduces spike and wave discharges in the frontoparietal cortex in a rat model of absence seizures. Carisbamate (10 mg/kg) increases latency to the first running episode in the Wistar audiogenic sensitive rat model of convulsive seizures. It also reduces motor seizure frequency in a rat model of spontaneous seizures in a dose-dependent manner. Carisbamate blocks Na
v1.2 channels (IC
50 = 68 μM for rat channels) and inhibits repetitive firing of action potentials in rat hippocampal neurons in a dose-dependent manner. It also reduces T-type Ca
2+ currents in HEK cells transfected with human recombinant Ca
v3.1 channels at a concentration of 300 μM.
Uses
Labelled Carisbamate; it is being developed for adjuvant treatment of partial onset epilepsy. Carisbamate produces anticonvulsant effects in primary generalized, complex partial and absence-type seizu
re models, and exhibits neuroprotective and antiepileptogenic properties in rodent epilepsy models.
