pentylenetetrazole and Ataxia

pentylenetetrazole has been researched along with Ataxia in 28 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.

Ataxia: Impairment of the ability to perform smoothly coordinated voluntary movements. This condition may affect the limbs, trunk, eyes, pharynx, larynx, and other structures. Ataxia may result from impaired sensory or motor function. Sensory ataxia may result from posterior column injury or PERIPHERAL NERVE DISEASES. Motor ataxia may be associated with CEREBELLAR DISEASES; CEREBRAL CORTEX diseases; THALAMIC DISEASES; BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES; injury to the RED NUCLEUS; and other conditions.

"Intramuscular injection of selective NMDA receptor antagonists memantine and arcaine 4-fold decreased the incidence of pentylenetetrazole-induced generalized tonic-clonic seizures in rats, while the incidence of clonic seizures decreased by 1."7.74Combined blockade of AMPA and NMDA receptors in the brain of rats prevents pentylenetetrazole-induced clonic and tonic-clonic seizures without ataxia. ( Gmiro, VE; Serdyuk, SE, 2008)
"An anticonvulsant action of ketamine, a noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist (5-40 mg/kg IP), on the bicuculline-induced (3-8 mg/kg IP) or picrotoxin-induced seizures (3-6 mg/kg IP) was assessed in male Wistar rats aged 7, 12, 18, 25 and 90 days."7.68Ketamine suppresses both bicuculline- and picrotoxin-induced generalized tonic-clonic seizures during ontogenesis. ( Mares, P; Rokyta, R; Velísek, L; Velísková, J, 1990)
"These results show that the anesthetics propofol and 2,6-di-sec-butylphenol may be substituted in the para position with a 1-hydroxy-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl moiety and the resulting molecules have anticonvulsant activity in the 6 Hz model while exhibiting less toxicity (ataxia) than the parent 2,6-dialkylphenols."3.77The anticonvulsant effects of propofol and a propofol analog, 2,6-diisopropyl-4-(1-hydroxy-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)phenol, in a 6 Hz partial seizure model.

"LY 300164 [7-acetyl-5-(4-aminophenyl)-8,9-dihydro-8-methyl-7H-1,3-dioxolo(4, 5H)-2,3-benzodiazepine], an antagonist of AMPA/kainate receptors, at 5 mg/kg exerted a significant anticonvulsant effect, as regards seizure and afterdischarge durations in amygdala-kindled seizures in rats."3.70Influence of LY 300164, an antagonist of AMPA/kainate receptors, on the anticonvulsant activity of clonazepam. ( Borowicz, KK; Czuczwar, SJ; Kleinrok, Z; Luszczki, J; Szadkowski, M, 1999)

"Aromatic and heterocyclic esters of 1-methyl-4-piperidinol and 1,4-dimethyl-4-piperidinol and aromatic esters of (dialkylamino)alkanols were prepared and evaluated for antiepileptic activity by the maximal electroshock seizure (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole seizure threshold (scMet) assays and for minimal central neurotoxicity by the rotorod ataxia test."3.67Anticonvulsant activity of piperidinol and (dialkylamino)alkanol esters. ( Creveling, CR; Daly, JW; Hollingsworth, EB; Lewandowski, G; Waters, JA, 1986)
"High anxiety also leads to higher motor incoordination (as assessed by the number of falls and hind-paw slips), suggesting that this test may be used for combined profiling of anxiety, motor-vestibular anomalies and anxiety-induced motor incoordination in rats."1.33Behavioural characterization in rats using the elevated alley Suok test. ( Kalueff, AV; Minasyan, A; Tuohimaa, P, 2005)
