probenecid and Seizures

probenecid has been researched along with Seizures in 16 studies

Probenecid: The prototypical uricosuric agent. It inhibits the renal excretion of organic anions and reduces tubular reabsorption of urate. Probenecid has also been used to treat patients with renal impairment, and, because it reduces the renal tubular excretion of other drugs, has been used as an adjunct to antibacterial therapy.
probenecid : A sulfonamide in which the nitrogen of 4-sulfamoylbenzoic acid is substituted with two propyl groups.

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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The kynurenine pathway converts tryptophan into various compounds, including l-kynurenine, which in turn can be converted to the excitatory amino acid receptor antagonist kynurenic acid, which may therefore serve as a protective agent in such neurological disorders as epileptic seizures."7.72Kynurenine administered together with probenecid markedly inhibits pentylenetetrazol-induced seizures. An electrophysiological and behavioural study. ( Farkas, T; Janáky, T; Kis, Z; Marosi, M; Németh, H; Robotka, H; Rózsa, E; Somlai, C; Toldi, J; Vécsei, L, 2004)
"Kynurenine is a direct precursor of kynurenic acid, the only known endogenous antagonist of excitatory amino acid receptors in the brain."5.28Kynurenine and probenecid inhibit pentylenetetrazol- and NMDLA-induced seizures and increase kynurenic acid concentrations in the brain. ( Beal, MF; MacGarvey, U; Miller, J; Vécsei, L, 1992)

" Coadministration of the transport inhibitor probenecid (p-(dipropylsulphamoyl)-benzoic acid) enhanced and prolonged the anticonvulsant action of NBQX and also enhanced and prolonged ataxia."3.68Probenecid pretreatment enhances anticonvulsant action of NBQX in mice. ( Taylor, CP; Vartanian, MG, 1992)
"Chronic administration of the same dose of cocaine to rhesus monkeys for up to 6 months was associated with progressive alterations in pathological behavior and increased susceptibility to seizures."3.65Progressive effects of cocaine on behavior and central amine metabolism in rhesus monkeys: relationship to kindling and psychosis. ( Black, KE; Kopanda, RT; Post, RM, 1976)
"Acute renal failure was induced by occlusion of bilateral renal arteries for 60 min, and the motor activity and brain monoamine turnover were examined 48 h later."1.31Uraemia suppresses central dopaminergic metabolism and impairs motor activity in rats. ( Adachi, N; Arai, T; Deshpande, G; Lei, B; Nagaro, T; Seyfried, FJ; Shimizu, I, 2001)
"Kynurenine is a direct precursor of kynurenic acid, the only known endogenous antagonist of excitatory amino acid receptors in the brain."1.28Kynurenine and probenecid inhibit pentylenetetrazol- and NMDLA-induced seizures and increase kynurenic acid concentrations in the brain. ( Beal, MF; MacGarvey, U; Miller, J; Vécsei, L, 1992)
"It is postulated that the seizures and neurological deterioration of the patient were related to a deficiency in the synthesis of biogenic amine neurotransmitters."1.26Biogenic amine synthesis defect in dihydropteridine reductase deficiency. ( Butler, IJ; Koslow, SH, 1977)
