pentylenetetrazole and Alcohol Withdrawal Associated Autonomic Hyperactivity

pentylenetetrazole has been researched along with Alcohol Withdrawal Associated Autonomic Hyperactivity in 4 studies

Pentylenetetrazole: A pharmaceutical agent that displays activity as a central nervous system and respiratory stimulant. It is considered a non-competitive GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID antagonist. Pentylenetetrazole has been used experimentally to study seizure phenomenon and to identify pharmaceuticals that may control seizure susceptibility.
pentetrazol : An organic heterobicyclic compound that is 1H-tetrazole in which the hydrogens at positions 1 and 5 are replaced by a pentane-1,5-diyl group. A central and respiratory stimulant, it was formerly used for the treatment of cough and other respiratory tract disorders, cardiovascular disorders including hypotension, and pruritis.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Withdrawal Seizure-Prone (WSP) and -Resistant (WSR) mice, which were selectively bred for severe (WSP) or mild (WSR) handling-induced convulsions (HICs) following chronic ethanol inhalation, were found to differ in sensitivity to the anticonvulsant effects of the neuroactive steroid 3 alpha-hydroxy-5 alpha-pregnan-20-one (3 alpha,5 alpha-P."1.29Neuroactive steroid sensitivity in withdrawal seizure-prone and -resistant mice. ( Crabbe, JC; Finn, DA; Roberts, AJ, 1995)
" The long-lasting decrease in seizure threshold following CIE treatment resembled the "kindling" phenomenon produced by chronic administration of PTZ (25 mg/kg, 3 times/week)."1.29The kindling model of alcohol dependence: similar persistent reduction in seizure threshold to pentylenetetrazol in animals receiving chronic ethanol or chronic pentylenetetrazol.
