Inhibitory effect of iodophenpropit, a selective histamine H3 antagonist, on amygdaloid kindled seizures.
The effect of histamine H(3) antagonist, iodophenpropit on amygdaloid kindled seizures in rats was studied in comparison with those of other H(3) antagonists. Under pentobarbital anesthesia, the rats were fixed to a stereotaxic apparatus and bipolar electrodes were implanted into the amygdala. Electrodes were connected to a miniature receptacle, which was embedded in the skull with dental cement. To cause kindled seizures, electrical stimulation was applied to the amygdala bipolarly every day by a constant current stimulator, and electroencephalogram and convulsive behavior were observed. Drug effects were estimated in rats showing generalized kindled seizures. Intraperitoneal injection of H(3) antagonists, iodophenpropit, thioperamide, AQ0145 and clobenpropit, resulted in a dose-related inhibition of amygdaloid kindled seizures. The effect of iodophenpropit on amygdaloid kindled seizures was more potent than those of thioperamide, AQ0145 and clobenpropit. In conclusion, iodophenpropit may be useful for the treatment of partial epilepsy and/or secondary generalized seizures in humans.

Intracerebroventricular administration of histamine H3 receptor antagonists decreases seizures in rat models of epilepsia.
The effects of histamine H3 antagonists on amygdaloid kindled and maximal electroshock seizures in rats were studied to determine their potential as new antiepileptic drugs. Under pentobarbital anesthesia, rats were fixed to a stereotaxic apparatus and a stainless steel guide cannula for drug administration was implanted into the lateral ventricle. In amygdaloid kindled seizures, electrodes were implanted into the right amygdala and electroencephalogram was recorded bipolarly; stimulation was applied bipolarly every day by a constant current stimulator and continued until a generalized convulsion was obtained. In the maximal electroshock (MES) seizure test, electroconvulsion was induced by stimulating animals through ear-clip electrodes, and the durations of tonic and clonic seizures were measured. Thioperamide, clobenpropit, iodophenpropit, VUF5514, VUF5515 and VUF4929 caused a dose-dependent inhibition of both seizure stage and afterdischarge (AD) duration of amygdaloid kindled seizures. The duration of tonic seizure induced by MES was also inhibited by H3 antagonists, but the duration of clonic seizures were unchanged. Among the H3 antagonists tested, clobenpropit and iodophenpropit were somewhat more potent than the other drugs on amygdaloid kindled seizures and MES seizures, respectively. These results indicate that some H3 antagonists may be useful as antiepileptic drugs, especially for secondary generalized seizures and/or tonic-clonic seizures in humans.
