- 4. Seizure Classification • Partial (focal): origin of seizure is localized – simple partial: consciousness maintained – complex partial: consciousness lost • Generalized: origin of seizure is distributed – tonic-clonic (grand malg): • tonic: continuous muscle contraction • clonic: rapid contraction & relaxation – absence (petit malp): brief loss of consciousness g(0:40 to 1:20) Skip Ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRZY2a2jnuw p(0:35 to 1:10) Skip Ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DruJDZVO7Ko

- 17. Valproate (1962) • History: Pierre Eymard is using pentylenetetrazol to induce convulsions with valproate as solvent/vehicle. • Uses: different seizure types • MOA: ?, ↑GABA, ↓ aspartate Stahl (2008).Essential Psychopharm, p. 678.

- 19. Status Epilecticus (SE) • continuous, unremitting seizure lasting > 5 min • convulsive > non-convulsive • mortality = 20% • medical emergency Trinka et al. (2012). Epilepsia, 53(4), 127-138.
- 20. Lorazepam (1977) • MOA: GABAA α1,2,3,5 • Dose: 2 mg/ml per min x 2 • Adverse Effects: heavy sedation, especially with alcohol • t1/2 : 12 hours

- 24. Summary • MES and PTZ have been used to identify many AED. • Pharmacotherapy for epilepsy is complex and polypharmacy is common.
- 25. Self-Test • Match the AED on the left with the potential adverse effect. – valproic acid – phenytoin – phenobarbital

- By 20 years of age, one percent of the population can be expected to have developed epilepsy, 3% by age 75. High-Income countries: 45/100K versus Low/Middle income 82/100K!
- Complex partial may also involve hallucinations, chewing movements, and urination. Onset of petit mal seizures is typically between ages 3-5. The staring and rapid eye blinking are common. http://www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=petit+mal&submit=Submit

- A cotransporter is an integral membrane protein that is involved in secondary active transport. It works by binding to two molecules or ions at a time and using the gradient of one solute's concentration to force the other molecule or ion against its gradient.Membrane potential is the difference in electrical potential between the interior and the exterior of a cell (typically –70 mV for neurons).During adult life, the activity of the KCC2 cotransporter is high resulting in a low volume of intracellular Cl. Application of GABA results in the Cl channel opening which decreases the membrane potential.
- Charles Locock was an obstetrician to Queen Victoria. He comments that potassium bromide produced satisfactory results in a series of 52 woman whose seizures corresponded with their menstrual cycles. KBr is still a 3rd AED for children in Europe (removed from market in US in 1975). At the time of writing, the speculated causes of epilepsy were the uterus, kidney, teeth, and, especially, masterbation (KBr calmed sexual excitement).Hauptmann is a psychiatry resident living over a psychiatric ward. Phenobarbital is still the #1 AED in developing countries.
- “A 17-year-old boy had generalized tonic–clonic seizures for four years…Treatment with 300 mg of phenytoin per day was subsequently begun and continued unsupervised for a period of two years. Examination revealed … severe gingival hyperplasia (Panel A) … withdrawal of phenytoin was followed by marked regression of the gingival hyperplasia within three months” (Panel B).
- Phenytoin leads to increased potassium degradation which results in a K deficiency.
- Pentylenetetrazol is also known as PTZCardiazol. This was used to induce seizures in people prior to the development of Electroconvulsive Therapy. Systemic PTZ causes significant decreases in blood pressure and increases in heart rate so the ICV route was used instead. Authors note “subcutaneous electrodes were placed over the anterior and posterior cortex”.
- Reported to be most widely used AED in the world as of 2002. Valproate MOA may involve increasing GABA release, inhibiting GABA reuptake, or inhibiting GABA transaminase, decreasing the opening of Ca/Na channels, as a NMDA antagonist, and modulates 5-HT and dopamine (whew)!
- Spina bifida (Latin: "split spine") is a developmental congenital disorder caused by the incomplete closing of the embryonic neural tube. Some vertebrae overlying the spinal cord are not fully formed and remain unfused and open. If the opening is large enough, this allows a portion of the spinal cord to protrude through the opening in the bones. There may or may not be a fluid-filled sac surrounding the spinal cord.
- Prevents seizures for 2-8 hours. This is much longer than diazepam (30 minutes). Since its introduction, Lorazepam has been marketed under 70 (!) brand names!

Application of GABA results in the Cl channel opening which decreases the membrane potential.
- Philtrum:the vertical groove on the surface of the upper lip, below the septum of the nose.Phenytoin is associated with both gingival hypertrophy and facial dysmorphology. Valproic acid causes hair loss (uncommon) and weight gain (common).
