penicillamine and Seizures

penicillamine has been researched along with Seizures in 24 studies

Penicillamine: 3-Mercapto-D-valine. The most characteristic degradation product of the penicillin antibiotics. It is used as an antirheumatic and as a chelating agent in Wilson's disease.
penicillamine : An alpha-amino acid having the structure of valine substituted at the beta position with a sulfanyl 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.

"The onset of convulsions induced by these convulsants coincides with the fall in GABA content and GAD activity in the mesencephalon area, and in contrast, the cessation of the convulsions by PN supplement coincides with the recovery in both the parameters."1.26Effect of antivitamin B6 on regional GABA metabolism in mouse brain and its relation to convulsions. ( Abe, M; Matsuda, M, 1979)
"During the convulsions by TSC 16hr after the AOAA-pretreatment, the GABA content in synaptosomes was less than that from the group treated with AOAA alone, though its GABA level was higher than the normal level."1.26Relationship between gamma-aminobutyric acid metabolism and antivitamin B6-induced convulsions.
