The inhibitory neural circuitry as target of antiepileptic drugs.

2001

Impairments and defects in the inhibitory neurotransmission in the CNS can contribute to various seizure disorders, i.e., gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine as the main inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain play a crucial role in some forms of epilepsy. Recent advances in deciphering the molecular basis of the GABAergic and glycinergic systems has been achieved by means of cloning techniques and gene targeting strategies in animals, contributing to the understanding of drug action. As well, several anticonvulsive substances emerged which target key molecules of the inhibitory systems. Employment of recombinant expression systems, including, but not restricted to the inhibitory c…

Zielstrukturen für Antiepileptika: Molekulare Neurobiologie der Epilepsie

2007

Dank der Entwicklungen auf den Gebieten der Molekularbiologe und der Elektrophysiologie in den letzten Jahrzehnten verstehen wir viele Details der neuronalen Reizleitung und -verarbeitung. Damit verbunden ist unser Wissen uber die Wirkmechanismen der Antiepileptika angestiegen, insbesondere seit wir ihre Zielmolekule isoliert in Zellkultur untersuchen und in Mausmodellen genetisch manipulieren konnen. Mehrere neuronale Rezeptoren, Kanale und Enzyme, die bislang pharmazeutisch wenig beachtet wurden, stellen potentielle Ziele fur neuartige Substanzen dar, die insbesondere fur bisher therapierefraktare Epilepsien bedeutsam sein konnten.
