nitrazepam and Seizures

nitrazepam has been researched along with Seizures in 24 studies

Nitrazepam: A benzodiazepine derivative used as an anticonvulsant and hypnotic.
nitrazepam : A 1,4-benzodiazepinone that is 1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one which is substituted at positions 5 and 7 by phenyl and nitro groups, respectively. It is used as a hypnotic for the short-term management of insomnia and for the treatment of epileptic spasms in infants (West's syndrome).

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 anticonvulsant effects of clonazepam, nitrazepam and chlordiazepoxide alone, or combined with diphenylhydantoin, were studied on pentylenetetrazol- and bicuculline-induced seizures."7.66Effects of combined treatment with diphenylhydantoin and different benzodiazepines on pentylenetetrazol- and bicuculline-induced seizures in mice. ( Czuczwar, SJ; Kleinrok, Z; Turski, L, 1982)
"The anticonvulsant effects of clonazepam, nitrazepam and chlordiazepoxide alone, or combined with diphenylhydantoin, were studied on pentylenetetrazol- and bicuculline-induced seizures."3.66Effects of combined treatment with diphenylhydantoin and different benzodiazepines on pentylenetetrazol- and bicuculline-induced seizures in mice. ( Czuczwar, SJ; Kleinrok, Z; Turski, L, 1982)
"Diazepam, oxazepam, N-methyloxazepam, nitrazepam and N-desmethyldiazepam prevented seizures in mice produced by lidocaine, mepivacaine, and prilocaine, and in rats by lidocaine when administered IP five minutes before IP local anesthetic."3.66Structure activity relationships of selected benzodiazepines as anticonvulsants to local anesthetics. ( Coffman, WB; McFarland, SA; Meyer, EA; Mumford, R; Wynn, RL, 1980)
"The therapeutics results with the use of different drugs (diazepam, nitrazepam, clonazepam, diphenylhydantoin, barbiturates--phenobarbital and primidone--, sodium dipropylacetate and ACTH) in twenty-nine patients with Lennox--Gastaut syndrome are carefully analysed."3.65[Effect of drugs on electroclinical types of epileptic seizures in Lennox-Gastaut syndrome]. ( Lison, MP; Speciali, GG, 1977)
" The controls were comprised of naive rats (G-VI) and naive rats dosed in the same manner as the dependent rats."1.26Participant of serotonin turnover rate in the brain on barbital withdrawal convulsion. ( Hiramori, T; Nakao, K; Tagashira, E; Urano, T; Yanaura, S, 1982)
"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)
"Different strengths of seizure foci were induced by penicillin G 1000, 3000 and 6000 U injected into the cortex, amygdala and intralaminal thalamus, and the spread of epileptic discharges in the subcortex or surrounding area and to the contralateral area was followed."1.26[Depressive effects of benzodiazepines on penicillin-induced epileptic discharges]. ( Fukushima, H; Kitagawa, S; Tsuchiya, T, 1976)
