    The action of noncompetitive blockers of glutamate receptors has been investigated on Krushinski-Molodkina rats genetically-prone to audiogenic seizures. The selective blockers of NMDA receptor channels, memantine and IEM-1921, and their dicationic homologues, IEM-1925 and IEM-1754, capable of blocking in varying degrees both NMDA and Ca-permeable AMPA receptor channels, were studied. The drugs were injected intramuscularly to rats with the different time intervals (30 min, 1, 2 or 3 hours) before sound signal. The effects of the drugs on latent period of initial locomotor activity provoked by audio stimulation (8 kHz sine-wave tone, 90 dB volume), the appearance of clonic convulsions of different intensities, and, finally, tonic convulsions with limb and tail extension were evaluated. Within 30 min after injection IEM-1921 at a dose of 5 mg/kg, 33% of rats manifested a complete absence of convulsive reactions to sound, and in 59% of rats audiogenic seizures occured only in the form of motor excitation without a generalized clonic-tonic convulsions. Memantine at a dose of 5 mg/kg did not cause a complete blockade of seizures, but after 1 h of injection in 50% of the rats and after 2 h in 70% of rats a weakening of the audiogenic seizures to the level of motor excitation only was observed. After 3 hrs after administration of blockers its anticonvulsive action weakened significantly (p < 0.01). Dicationic blockers that block both NMDA and AMPA/kainate receptors, IEM-1925 (in doses of 0.001-20.0 mg/kg) and IEM-1754 (0.025-50.0 mg/kg), did not affect audiogenic clonic-tonic convulsive reactions. The involvement of activation of NMDA and calcium permeable AMPA/kainate receptors in the pathogenesis of audiogenic seizures is discussed.

Comparison of the anticonvulsive activities of organic mono- and dications with their abilities to inhibit NMDA and AMPA glutamate receptors.
    Neuroscience and behavioral physiology, 2004, Volume: 34, Issue:2

    The abilities of mono- and dicationic adamantane and phenylcyclohexyl derivatives to (a) block open NMDA and AMPA glutamate receptors in isolated rat brain neurons and (b) prevent convulsions induced in mice by intraventricular NMDA or kainate were studied. Monocations inhibited NMDA receptors in vitro and produced corresponding protection against NMDA-induced convulsions in vivo, but lacked the ability to block AMPA receptors or prevent kainate-induced convulsions. Dications (IEM-1754 and IEM-1925), which inhibited both NMDA and AMPA receptors, were highly effective at protecting against kainate convulsions and were more effective than the corresponding monocations in preventing NMDA convulsions. The origin of convulsions induced by NMDA appears to be based on a component mediated by activation of AMPA receptors. The anticonvulsive activity of IEM-1754 and IEM-1925 were comparable with those of the known NMDA receptor blockers memantine and MK-801. This was combined with an almost complete absence of the side effects characteristic of memantine and MK-801. The complete correspondence between the in vitro data and in vivo results seen with some of the study compounds is evidently associated with their pharmacokinetic properties.

[Comparison of the anticonvulsant activity of organic mono- and di-cations and their potential to inhibit NMDA and AMPA glutamate receptors].
    Rossiiskii fiziologicheskii zhurnal imeni I.M. Sechenova, 2002, Volume: 88, Issue:9

    Effects of mono- and dicationic derivatives of adamantine and phenylcyclohexyl were studied on: (i) open channels of NMDA and AMPA glutamate receptors in the experiments on the isolated rat brain neurones, and (ii) convulsions induced by intraventricular injections of NMDA or kainate in mice. Monocations inhibited the NMDA receptors in vitro and prevented convulsions induced by NMDA in vivo, but failed to affect both the AMPA receptors and kainite-induced convulsions. Dications (IEM-1754 and IEM-1925) revealed both anti-NMDA and anti-AMPA potency in vitro, were highly effective against kainite-induced convulsions and excelled monocations in preventing the NMDA-induced ones. Evidently some steps connected with the AMPA receptor activity are involved in the genesis of the NMDA-induced convulsions. Anticonvulsant potency of IEM-1754 and IEM-1925 is comparable with those of known NMDA receptor inhibitors: memantine and MK-801. The IEM-1754 and IEM-1925 show no side effects. An incomplete correspondence between the activity in vitro and in vivo found studying some derivatives, may be due to peculiarities of their pharmacokinetics.
