flurazepam and Seizures

flurazepam has been researched along with Seizures in 25 studies

Flurazepam: A benzodiazepine derivative used mainly as a hypnotic.
flurazepam : A 1,4-benzodiazepinone that is 1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one substituted by a 2-(diethylamino)ethyl group, 2-fluorophenyl group and chloro group at positions 1, 5 and 7, respectively. It is a partial agonist of GABAA receptors and used for the treatment of insomnia.

Seizures: Clinical or subclinical disturbances of cortical function due to a sudden, abnormal, excessive, and disorganized discharge of brain cells. Clinical manifestations include abnormal motor, sensory and psychic phenomena. Recurrent seizures are usually referred to as EPILEPSY or seizure disorder.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The effects of the calcium channel blocking agent, nitrendipine, were studied on seizures in mice produced during withdrawal from chronic benzodiazepine treatment and on the development of tolerance to benzodiazepines."7.68Nitrendipine decreases benzodiazepine withdrawal seizures but not the development of benzodiazepine tolerance or withdrawal signs. ( Bowhay, AR; Dolin, SJ; Little, HJ; Patch, TL; Rabbani, M; Siarey, RJ, 1990)
" In vivo tolerance was measured by a reduced ability of the alpha(1)-subunit-selective agonist zolpidem to suppress pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures."3.70Antagonist-induced reversal of functional and structural measures of hippocampal benzodiazepine tolerance. ( Chen, S; Kometiani, P; Lilly, SM; Rosenberg, HC; Tietz, EI; Zeng, XJ, 1999)
"Cold water swim stress has been shown to decrease the ability of flurazepam, a prototypic GABA-positive benzodiazepine, to antagonize the electrical precipitation of seizures in mice."3.68Paradoxical effect of flurazepam. ( Deutsch, SI; Mastropaolo, J; Norris, DO; O'Connor, DA, 1992)
"Twenty-four hours after mice were forced to swim for up to 10 min in cold (6 degrees C) water, the ability of flurazepam to antagonize the electrical precipitation of seizures was reduced."3.68Reduction of flurazepam's antiseizure efficacy persists after stress. ( Deutsch, SI; Lukacs, LG; Mastropaolo, J; Norris, DO; O'Connor, DA; Park, CH, 1992)
" The effects of the calcium channel blocking agent, nitrendipine, were studied on seizures in mice produced during withdrawal from chronic benzodiazepine treatment and on the development of tolerance to benzodiazepines."3.68Nitrendipine decreases benzodiazepine withdrawal seizures but not the development of benzodiazepine tolerance or withdrawal signs. ( Bowhay, AR; Dolin, SJ; Little, HJ; Patch, TL; Rabbani, M; Siarey, RJ, 1990)
" Determination of the anticonvulsant effects of flurazepam (1-6 mg/kg) against seizures induced by 3-mercaptopropionic acid revealed that the SS line was more sensitive to the anticonvulsant effects of this benzodiazepine."3.67Differential response to flurazepam in long-sleep and short-sleep mice. ( Freund, RK; Marley, RJ; Wehner, JM, 1988)
"The latency to onset of clonic seizure and the PTZ threshold were recorded."1.36[Drugs and the mechanism for reversing the tolerance of flurazepan in rats]. ( Bian, FZ; Wang, L; Wang, YH; Wang, YX, 2010)
"Clonazepam did not produce anaesthesia, at doses up to 1 g kg-1 or when given with nitrendipine."1.28Differential interactions between benzodiazepines and the dihydropyridines, nitrendipine and Bay K 8644. ( Dolin, SJ; Little, HJ; Patch, TL; Rabbani, M; Taberner, PV, 1991)
"At higher doses, however, convulsions again emerged."1.26Central excitatory actions of flurazepam. ( Rosenberg, HC, 1980)
"Comparison of the PD50 from clonic seizure at the peak-effect hours revealed that the benzodiazepines were 16 to 96 times more potent than phenobarbitone on a molar basis, while phenobarbitone itself was 12 to 26 times more potent than ethosuximide and trimethadione."1.26The temporal dimensions of anticonvulsant action of some newer benzodiazepines against metrazol induced seizures in mice and rats. ( Banerjee, U; Yeoh, PN, 1977)
