niacinamide and Seizures

niacinamide has been researched along with Seizures in 27 studies

nicotinamide : A pyridinecarboxamide that is pyridine in which the hydrogen at position 3 is replaced by a carboxamide group.

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.

"In adult male albino BALB/c mice inosine (INS, 100 and 200 micrograms, intraventricularly) prolonged the latency of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) seizures while nicotinamide (NAM) exerted an opposite effect."7.66Dissimilar effects of nicotinamide and inosine, putative endogenous ligands of the benzodiazepine receptors, on pentylenetetrazol seizures in four strains of mice. ( Lapin, IP, 1980)
"Nicotinamide (NAM, 1000 mg/kg), inosine (INS, 1000 mg/kg), hypoxanthine (HXT, 500 mg/kg), putative endogenous ligands of the benzodiazepine receptor, and nicotinic acid (NA, 500 mg/kg) diminished DL-kynurenine-(DL-K, 50 micrograms ICV) induced seizures in C57BL/6 adult male mice and only prolonged the latency of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ, 500 micrograms iCV) seizures."7.66Nicotinamide, inosine and hypoxanthine, putative endogenous ligands of the benzodiazepine receptor, opposite to diazepam are much more effective against kynurenine-induced seizures than against pentylenetetrazol-induced seizures. ( Lapin, IP, 1981)
" Here we assessed CBD dose-response effects in the Genetically Epilepsy Prone Rats (GEPR-3) strain, which exhibits two types of epileptic seizures, brainstem-dependent generalized tonic-clonic seizures and limbic seizures."5.91Cannabidiol attenuates generalized tonic-clonic and suppresses limbic seizures in the genetically epilepsy-prone rats (GEPR-3) strain. ( Campos-Rodriguez, C; Forcelli, PA; Garcia-Cairasco, N; Lazarini-Lopes, W; N'Gouemo, P, 2023)
" A 5 d treatment of epileptic mice with systemic injections of the centrally available, potent, and specific P2X7 receptor antagonist JNJ-47965567 (30 mg/kg) significantly reduced spontaneous seizures during continuous video-EEG monitoring that persisted beyond the time of drug presence in the brain."3.83Transient P2X7 Receptor Antagonism Produces Lasting Reductions in Spontaneous Seizures and Gliosis in Experimental Temporal Lobe Epilepsy.

"The anticonvulsive action of diazepam, carbamazepine, sodium valproate and their combinations with pyridoxal-5-phosphate, nicotinamide, and alpha-tocopherol were investigated in acute experiments on mice with corazole-induced seizures."3.67[Effect of diazepam, carbamazepine, sodium valproate and their combinations with vitamin preparations on epileptic activity]. ( Kryzhanovskiĭ, GN; Shandra, AA, 1985)
" It has been found in experimental primary-generalized epileptic activity induced by bemegride that preliminary injection of nicotinamide increased the latency of the emergence of the first epileptic seizures."3.66[Effect of nicotinamide on focal and generalized epileptic activity in the cerebral cortex]. ( Braslavskiĭ, VE; Germanov, SB; Kryzhanovskiĭ, GN; Nikushkin, EV; Shchavelev, VA, 1982)
