Isobolographic interaction between AO-294, an enantiomer of losigamone, and phenobarbital in the mouse model of maximal electroshock
Journal Title: Journal of Pre-Clinical and Clinical Research - Year 2007, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The objective of the present study was to determine the exact type of interaction between AO-294, the less active enantiomer of a novel antiepileptic drug losigamone and phenobarbital in the model of maximal electroshock-induced convulsions in mice. Isobolographic analysis of obtained data show that the 2 drugs interact additively when administered in proportions of 1:3 and 1:1. Antagonism was found at the dose ratio of 3:1. This may suggest that AO-294 is not a good candidate for 2-drug therapy with phenobarbital, especially when administered at relatively high doses.
