isradipine and Seizures

isradipine has been researched along with Seizures in 6 studies

Isradipine: A potent antagonist of CALCIUM CHANNELS that is highly selective for VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE. It is effective in the treatment of chronic stable angina pectoris, hypertension, and congestive cardiac failure.

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.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The aim of this study was to investigate the possible anticonvulsant effect of a dihydropyridine calcium antagonist, isradipine, which easily crosses the blood-brain barrier displaying high affinity and specificity for the brain L-type voltage-sensitive calcium channel, on maximal electroshock seizures in mice."7.70The effect of isradipine on maximal electroshock seizures in mice. ( Akkan, AG; Gacar, N; Ozüner, Z; Ozyazgan, S; Senses, V; Ulak, G; Utkan, T; Yildiran, G, 1998)
"A 21-year-old white man, with propionic acidemia and seizures treated with phenytoin and carbamazepine, was started on isradipine for essential hypertension."3.71Phenytoin/isradipine interaction causing severe neurologic toxicity. ( Cachat, F; Tufro, A, 2002)

( Akkan, AG; Gacar, N; Ozüner, Z; Ozyazgan, S; Senses, V; Ulak, G; Utkan, T; Yildiran, G, 1998)
"We report the effects of two new dihydropyridine derivatives, isradipine (4-(4'-benzofurazanyl)-1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-3,5-pyridinedic arboxylic acid methylisopropylester) and niguldipine (1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-3,5-pyridinecarboxylic acid 3-(4,4-diphenyl-1-piperidinyl)-propyl methyl ester hydrochloride), and of dantrolene (1-[(5-[p-nitrophenyl]furfurylidene)-amino]hydantoin sodium, an inhibitor of Ca2+ release from intracellular stores) on the protective efficacy of antiepileptic drugs against maximal electroshock-induced seizures."3.69Influence of isradipine, niguldipine and dantrolene on the anticonvulsive action of conventional antiepileptics in mice. ( Borowicz, KK; Czuczwar, SJ; Gasior, M; Kleinrok, Z, 1997)
"Nitrendipine was effective when given for two weeks but not after only two days' treatment."1.28Chronic dihydropyridine treatment can reverse the behavioural consequences of and prevent adaptations to, chronic ethanol treatment.
