pilocarpine and Brain Disorders

pilocarpine has been researched along with Brain Disorders in 9 studies

Pilocarpine: A slowly hydrolyzed muscarinic agonist with no nicotinic effects. Pilocarpine is used as a miotic and in the treatment of glaucoma.
(+)-pilocarpine : The (+)-enantiomer of pilocarpine.

"The present work studied the effect of a calcium channel blocker (nimodipine) on rat behavioural changes and brain lesions observed after seizures induced by high doses of pilocarpine (400 mg/kg, s."7.69Inhibitory action of a calcium channel blocker (nimodipine) on seizures and brain damage induced by pilocarpine and lithium-pilocarpine in rats. ( Aguiar, LM; de Bruin, VM; de Pinho, RS; de Sousa, FC; Marinho, MM; Viana, GS, 1997)
" As in patients, the consequences of the lithium-pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus (SE) are age dependent, and only a subset of 21-day-old rats will develop epilepsy."3.71Predictive value of cortical injury for the development of temporal lobe epilepsy in 21-day-old rats: an MRI approach using the lithium-pilocarpine model.

"Microinjections of the cholinergic agonists, carbachol and bethanechol, either into the amygdala or into the dorsal hippocampus produced sustained limbic seizures and brain damage in rats."3.66Cholinomimetics produce seizures and brain damage in rats. ( Czuczwar, SJ; Kleinrok, Z; Turski, L; Turski, WA, 1983)
"pilocarpine were also reduced 6 h, 2, and 7 days after an AV3V lesion (143 +/- 19, 273 +/- 14, and 322 +/- 17 mg/7 min, respectively), but not after 15 days (450 +/- 28 mg/7 min)."1.29Involvement of the central nervous system in the salivary secretion induced by pilocarpine in rats.
