The anticonvulsant activities of some 2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazol-4-yl)propionic acid (AMPA)/kainate receptor antagonists, noncompetitive (2,3-benzodiazepines) and a competitive 2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulfamoyl-benzo(F)-quinoxaline (NBQX), were compared in different experimental seizure models. In particular, compounds were evaluated against audiogenic seizure in DBA/2 mice, maximal electroshock seizure (MES) test and various chemoconvulsant models; both groups showed a protective action against audiogenic seizure, MES- and pentylenctetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizures. All 2,3-benzodiazepines were also protective against clonic and tonic seizures and lethality induced by 4-aminopyridine, kainate, AMPA and 3-mercaptopropionic acid but were ineffective against NMDA-induced seizures. NBQX was unable to affect 4-aminopyridine-, mercaptopropionic acid- and NMDA-induced seizures. The duration of anticonvulsant action of 33 mumol/kg of some 2,3-benzodiazepine in DBA/2 mice, genetically susceptible to audiogenic seizures, was also investigated. The derivatives possessing a thiocarbonyl group at the C-4 position of heptatomic ring showed higher anticonvulsant activities and longer lasting protective effects. We conclude that all 2,3-benzodiazepines studied are effective against various models of experimental epilepsy and the presence of thiocarbonyl groups at the C-4 position of heptatomic ring is able to increase the anticonvulsant effect of these compounds.

Abstract

The anticonvulsant activities of some 2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazol-4-yl)propionic acid (AMPA)/kainate receptor antagonists, noncompetitive (2,3-benzodiazepines) and a competitive 2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulfamoyl-benzo(F)-quinoxaline (NBQX), were compared in different experimental seizure models. In particular, compounds were evaluated against audiogenic seizure in DBA/2 mice, maximal electroshock seizure (MES) test and various chemoconvulsant models; both groups showed a protective action against audiogenic seizure, MES- and pentylenctetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizures. All 2,3-benzodiazepines were also protective against clonic and tonic seizures and lethality induced by 4-aminopyridine, kainate, AMPA and 3-mercaptopropionic acid but were ineffective against NMDA-induced seizures. NBQX was unable to affect 4-aminopyridine-, mercaptopropionic acid- and NMDA-induced seizures. The duration of anticonvulsant action of 33 mumol/kg of some 2,3-benzodiazepine in DBA/2 mice, genetically susceptible to audiogenic seizures, was also investigated. The derivatives possessing a thiocarbonyl group at the C-4 position of heptatomic ring showed higher anticonvulsant activities and longer lasting protective effects. We conclude that all 2,3-benzodiazepines studied are effective against various models of experimental epilepsy and the presence of thiocarbonyl groups at the C-4 position of heptatomic ring is able to increase the anticonvulsant effect of these compounds.
