furosemide and Epilepsy

furosemide has been researched along with Epilepsy in 19 studies

Furosemide: A benzoic-sulfonamide-furan. It is a diuretic with fast onset and short duration that is used for EDEMA and chronic RENAL INSUFFICIENCY.
furosemide : A chlorobenzoic acid that is 4-chlorobenzoic acid substituted by a (furan-2-ylmethyl)amino and a sulfamoyl group at position 2 and 5 respectively. It is a diuretic used in the treatment of congestive heart failure.

Epilepsy: A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy). (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p313)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"For bumetanide, it has been suggested that inhibition of the NKCC isoform NKCC1 in the membrane of brain neurons may be involved; however, NKCC1 is expressed by virtually all cell types in the brain, which makes any specific targeting of neuronal NKCC1 by bumetanide impossible."5.91The loop diuretic torasemide but not azosemide potentiates the anti-seizure and disease-modifying effects of midazolam in a rat model of birth asphyxia. ( Gramer, M; Kirchhoff, L; Löscher, W; Schmidt, R; Welzel, B, 2023)
"This study aimed to explore the effect of concomitant use of Furosemide (FRS) and Valproic acid (VPA), demonstrating anti-inflammation efficacy, on epilepsy, and its underlying mechanism."4.12The effect of valproic acid and furosemide on the regulation of the inflammasome complex (NLRP1 and NLRP3 mRNA) in the brain of epileptic animal model. ( Abdolmaleki, Z; Faedmaleki, F; Samadianzakaria, A, 2022)
" We also tested chlorthiazide and furosemide for seizure protection in animal models of epilepsy."3.71Are certain diuretics also anticonvulsants? ( Annegers, JF; Cascino, G; Hauser, WA; Hesdorffer, DC; Stables, JP, 2001)
"For bumetanide, it has been suggested that inhibition of the NKCC isoform NKCC1 in the membrane of brain neurons may be involved; however, NKCC1 is expressed by virtually all cell types in the brain, which makes any specific targeting of neuronal NKCC1 by bumetanide impossible."1.91The loop diuretic torasemide but not azosemide potentiates the anti-seizure and disease-modifying effects of midazolam in a rat model of birth asphyxia. ( Gramer, M; Kirchhoff, L; Löscher, W; Schmidt, R; Welzel, B, 2023)
"Furosemide was not found to alter synaptic field responses, excitatory postsynaptic currents or intrinsic membrane properties of principal hippocampal neurons."1.32A potential role for astrocytes in mediating the antiepileptic actions of furosemide in vitro. ( Baraban, SC; Barbaro, NM; Takahashi, DK, 2004)
" The anti-bursting activity of carbenoxolone showed dose-response dependence in the concentration range 50-400 microM."1.31Can gap-junction blockade preferentially inhibit neuronal hypersynchrony vs. excitability? ( Klitgaard, H; Margineanu, DG, 2001)
