xanthine and Epilepsy

xanthine has been researched along with Epilepsy in 2 studies

7H-xanthine : An oxopurine in which the purine ring is substituted by oxo groups at positions 2 and 6 and N-7 is protonated.
9H-xanthine : An oxopurine in which the purine ring is substituted by oxo groups at positions 2 and 6 and N-9 is protonated.

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)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Their biomarker potential for seizures and epilepsy in peripheral blood has, however, not yet been investigated."1.62Elevated blood purine levels as a biomarker of seizures and epilepsy. ( Alves, M; Beamer, E; Conte, G; Dale, N; de Diego-Garcia, L; Delanty, N; El-Naggar, H; Engel, T; Henshall, DC; Khalil, M; Lacey, A; Rosenow, F; Tian, F, 2021)
"In multiple sclerosis, myelopathy, stroke, epilepsy and viral meningitis glutamate, hypoxanthine, xanthine, and uric acid are increased 2-3-fold compared to controls."1.30Cerebrospinal fluid hypoxanthine, xanthine and uric acid levels may reflect glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity in different neurological diseases.
