( Li, YP; Zeng, LN; Zhang, LL, 2011)
"This case report provides the first potential evidence that a low dose of phenytoin, a widely used and well tolerated anti-epileptic medication, may be capable of modifying the core social cognitive deficits associated with autism spectrum disorders."4.91The treatment of autism with low-dose phenytoin: a case report.

( Ehtisham, A; Heinrichs, RJ; Janzen, JM; Taylor, S, 2011)
"On the basis of epileptic model induced by pentylenetetrazol (PTZ), cognitive impairment model was induced by kindling epilepsy with PTZ everyday, which were then di-vided into the model-1 group, the CZD-1 group, the nimodipine-1 group, and those by injecting large dosage phenytoin sodium were divided into the model-2 group, the CZD-2 group and the nimodipine-2 group."3.74[Influence of repeated seizures and large dosage anti-epileptic drug on phosphorylated cAMP response element binding protein in rat's hippocampus and effect of Caoguo Zhimu Decoction].

( Li, YP; Zeng, LN; Zhang, LL, 2011)

( Goel, RK; Singh, D; Singh, P, 2016)
" Our findings strongly suggest that CoQ10 can be considered a safe and effective adjuvant to phenytoin therapy in epilepsy both to ameliorate seizure severity and to protect against seizure-induced oxidative damage by reducing the cognitive impairment and oxidative stress associated with chronic use of phenytoin."1.37Coenzyme Q10 enhances the anticonvulsant effect of phenytoin in pilocarpine-induced seizures in rats and ameliorates phenytoin-induced cognitive impairment and oxidative stress. ( Tawfik, MK, 2011)
" Chronic administration of phenytoin also produced significant elevations in brain MDA and reduction of brain GSH levels."1.35Curcumin is protective against phenytoin-induced cognitive impairment and oxidative stress in rats. ( Gupta, YK; Mehla, J; Reeta, KH, 2009)
"In particular, memory deficits, attentional problems, psychomotor slowing and reading and writing difficulties are highlighted, and the impact of the seizures, brain damage, and anticonvulsant drugs on cognitive function noted."1.27[Cognitive effects of antiepileptic drugs]. ( Trimble, R, 1987)
