norfloxacin and Seizures

norfloxacin has been researched along with Seizures in 17 studies

Norfloxacin: A synthetic fluoroquinolone (FLUOROQUINOLONES) with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against most gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Norfloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA GYRASE.
norfloxacin : A quinolinemonocarboxylic acid with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against most gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Norfloxacin is bactericidal and its mode of action depends on blocking of bacterial DNA replication by binding itself to an enzyme called DNA gyrase.

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.

"Therefore, norfloxacin-inducted seizures are not triggered by intracerebral glutamate level enhancement."1.32Norfloxacin-induced electroencephalogram alteration and seizures in rats are not triggered by enhanced levels of intracerebral glutamate.

( Fukuda, H; Kawamura, Y, 2002)
"These findings showed that the quantitative isobolographic approach is appropriate to assess the nature and intensity of the pharmacodynamic interaction between two drugs when data are collected within the biophase, but that data interpretation outside the biophase can be risky due to further pharmacokinetic complexities, in particular slow or/and nonlinear diffusion into the biophase."1.31Ignoring pharmacokinetics may lead to isoboles misinterpretation: illustration with the norfloxacin-theophylline convulsant interaction in rats. ( Bouquet, S; Cadart, M; Couet, W; Marchand, S; Pariat, C, 2002)

( Bouquet, S; Couet, W; Courtois, P; Delon, A; Huguet, F; Vierfond, JM, 1997)

Mechanistic and pharmacokinetic study. ( Schwark, WS; Vancutsem, PM, 1992)
