New evidence in adjunctive treatment of focal-onset seizures in adults: a critical appraisal

open access: yesGlobal & Regional Health Technology Assessment, 2022
Anti-seizure medications (ASMs) represent the pillar of the treatment of epilepsy. The rate of drug-resistant epilepsy remained substantially unchanged over time and there is still the need for new and more effective treatment options.

The effect of antiseizure medications on the exposure to combined oral contraceptives: A systematic review and network meta‐analysis

open access: yesEpileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Current recommendations for prescribing combined oral contraceptives (COCs) to people with epilepsy are often conflicting, particularly for weak inducers of cytochrome P450 3A4. We aimed to critically review the literature and compare the antiseizure medication (ASM)‐induced changes in exposure to COC components.

Efflux dynamics of the antiseizure drug, levetiracetam, through the P-glycoprotein channel revealed by advanced comparative molecular simulations

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Understanding the precise mechanistic details of the possible binding and transport of antiseizure medications (ASMs) through the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux pump is essential to find strategies for the treatment of patients with epilepsy resistant to ...

Asymmetric Michael Addition in Synthesis of β-Substituted GABA Derivatives

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) represents one of the most prolific structural units widely used in the design of modern pharmaceuticals. For example, β-substituted GABA derivatives are found in numerous neurological drugs, such as baclofen, phenibut, tolibut,

Marked differences in the effects of levetiracetam and its analogue brivaracetam on microglial, astrocytic, and neuronal density in the rat model of kainic acid-induced temporal lobe epilepsy

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology
Efficient treatment of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) remains challenging due to limited understanding of cellular and network changes and the interference of novel antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) with tissue reorganisation.

Oligogenic inheritance in epilepsy: A systematic exome‐wide analysis

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Genetic factors contribute to the majority of epilepsies, but the exact genetic cause remains unknown in most patients. Incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity are frequent, and recent studies showed a burden of deleterious variants in epilepsy genes, suggesting a role for oligogenic inheritance.

Acute effects of anti‐seizure medications on network level dynamics: A systematic comparison using multielectrode arrays

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective A multi‐electrode array (MEA) is a powerful extracellular recording technique for long‐term monitoring of neuronal network activity. In recent years, MEA‐based assays have been applied increasingly to evaluate drug efficacy and neurotoxicity, including the assessment of anti‐seizure medications (ASMs). However, systematic comparisons
