Induction of cytochrome P450 2C9 and P‐glycoprotein activity by antiseizure medications: A systematic review and network meta‐analysis

open access: yesEpileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Antiseizure medications (ASMs) can induce the activity of drug‐metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters, including cytochrome P450 (CYP)2C9 and P‐glycoprotein (P‐gp). Our objective was to comparatively assess the effects of ASMs on exposure to clinical CYP2C9 and P‐gp substrates.

Ranking of antiseizure medications in a panel of focal seizure models predicts their comparative efficacy in clinical add‐on trials in drug‐resistant focal epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Most antiseizure medications (ASMs) have been discovered by testing in animal models, which are generally thought to predict antiseizure activity in patients. However, it is not known whether any of these models (or a combination of models) can predict whether a novel ASM exhibits higher clinical efficacy in focal drug‐resistant ...

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) consists of prolonged, self‐sustaining seizures and is a common neurological emergency that causes respiratory compromise and neuronal injury. Without prompt treatment, the seizures can become resistant to benzodiazepines, leading to the progressive evolution of established, refractory, and super‐refractory SE.

Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐

Impact of MTHFR (C677T) gene polymorphism on antiepileptic drug monotherapy in North Indian epileptic population

open access: yesAnnals of Saudi Medicine, 2015
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are known to interfere with homocysteine metabolism. Hyperhomocysteinemia may be a risk factor associated in the long-term treatment with AEDs. Both genetic and non-genetic factors are responsible for
