Isobolographic interaction between AO-294, an enantiomer of losigamone, and valproate 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 valproate, in the model of maximal electroshock-induced convulsions in mice. Isobolographic analysis of obtained data show that the 2 drugs interact additively. This may suggest that AO-294 may be used in the 2-drug therapy of refractory epilepsy. However, it does not seem to be superior to its maternal antiepileptic, since losigamone (according to previous reports) interacted synergistically with valproate.
