tetraethylammonium and Epilepsy

tetraethylammonium has been researched along with Epilepsy in 15 studies

Tetraethylammonium: A potassium-selective ion channel blocker. (From J Gen Phys 1994;104(1):173-90)

Epilepsy: A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy). (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p313)

Trial Outcomes

Blood Plasma Levels of Octanoic Acid After 64 mg/kg 1-Octanol Dose

Octanoic Acid is a metabolite of 1-octanol. Blood plasma levels of octanoic acid were measured at 5, 20, 45, 70, 100, 130, 160, 210, 270 and 360 minutes post-dose. (NCT00102596)
Timeframe: 5, 20, 45, 70, 100, 130, 160, 210, 270 and 360 minutes post-dose

Normalized Mean Tremor Amplitude for Both Formulations of 64 mg/kg 1-Octanol in Part B

Spirography mean tremor amplitudes were measured in the right hand of each participant at 0, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 240 and 360 minutes post-dose. Then, the scores of each participant were normalized (i.e., divided by) by their baseline tremor severity scores so that all scores are expressed as a proportion of the baseline score. Therefore, 1 is the baseline tremor severity, and lower scores indicate tremor reduction. (NCT00102596)
