As for the drugs of carbamazepine derivatives, oxcarbazepine was approved by Japanese government at November 2016 after we complete the enrolment of this study. Eslicarbazepine is still unavailable in Japan (as of 2017). The reasons for the discontinuation of alternative drugs are shown in the parenthesis. Discontinuation of alternative drugs due to cADRs was occurred in four patients. Among them, two patients who started zonisamide as an alternative drug discontinued zonisamide due to zonisamide-induced cADR. One patient who started levetiracetam and gabapentin as alternative drugs discontinued these drugs due to cADR caused by antibiotics (sulbactam/ampicillin). One patient who started sodium valproate as an alternative drug discontinued this alternative drug by the initial diagnosis of cADR, but this patient was categorized as unlikely after the expert review due to the insufficient information to diagnose either cADR or other skin diseases. © 2018 American Medical Association.

    SCIENTIFIC DISCUSSION 1. Introduction Many patients (30 to 40% of the overall population with epilepsy) continue to have seizures in spite of receiving antiepileptic drug (AED) treatment. The prevalence of active epilepsy, 5-10/1000, is one of the highest among serious neurological disorders with more than 50 million people affected worldwide. Two peaks of incidence are observed, in early childhood and among elderly people. Some patients will have life-long epilepsy. International classifications, such as the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) classification recognise many epileptic diseases or syndromes and each of them can be expressed clinically by one or several seizure groupings. Partial epilepsies (localisation related) are the more frequent, accounting for more than 60% of the epilepsies, and they include most of the difficult-to-treat patients. In terms of seizure types, partial epilepsies include simple partial seizures (without impairment of consciousness), complex partial seizures (with impairment of consciousness and often more disabling) and secondarily generalized tonic-clonic seizures. The symptoms are a function of the localisation of the site of seizure onset in the brain (epileptogenic zone) and of the propagation pathways of the abnormal discharge. Therapeutic management usually follows a staged approach with newly diagnosed patients starting prophylactic treatment with a single drug, and several alternative drugs may be tried in the event of lack of efficacy or poor tolerability. For patients not responding to several attempts of monotherapy, combinations of antiepileptic drugs are generally employed early in the management process. Uncontrolled epilepsy is associated with cognitive deterioration, psychosocial dysfunction, dependent behaviour, restricted lifestyle, poor quality of life and excess mortality, in particular from sudden unexpected death in epilepsy patients (SUDEP).

Cannabidiol (CBD) is increasingly used to treat epilepsy. The outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in 2019 created new challenges in the effective treatment of epilepsy in COVID-19 patients. The purpose of this review is to present data from the last few years on drug–drug interactions among of AEDs, as well as AEDs with other drugs, nutrients and food. Literature data was collected mainly in PubMed, as well as google base. The most important pharmacokinetic parameters of the chosen 29 AEDs, mechanism of action and clinical application, as well as their biotransformation, are presented.

  • Chapter 25 Mechanisms of Action of Antiepileptic Drugs
    Chapter 25 Mechanisms of action of antiepileptic drugs GRAEME J. SILLS Department of Molecular and Clinical Pharmacology, University of Liverpool _________________________________________________________________________ Introduction The serendipitous discovery of the anticonvulsant properties of phenobarbital in 1912 marked the foundation of the modern pharmacotherapy of epilepsy. The subsequent 70 years saw the introduction of phenytoin, ethosuximide, carbamazepine, sodium valproate and a range of benzodiazepines. Collectively, these compounds have come to be regarded as the ‘established’ antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). A concerted period of development of drugs for epilepsy throughout the 1980s and 1990s has resulted (to date) in 16 new agents being licensed as add-on treatment for difficult-to-control adult and/or paediatric epilepsy, with some becoming available as monotherapy for newly diagnosed patients. Together, these have become known as the ‘modern’ AEDs. Throughout this period of unprecedented drug development, there have also been considerable advances in our understanding of how antiepileptic agents exert their effects at the cellular level. AEDs are neither preventive nor curative and are employed solely as a means of controlling symptoms (i.e. suppression of seizures). Recurrent seizure activity is the manifestation of an intermittent and excessive hyperexcitability of the nervous system and, while the pharmacological minutiae of currently marketed AEDs remain to be completely unravelled, these agents essentially redress the balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition. Three major classes of mechanism are recognised: modulation of voltage-gated ion channels; enhancement of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated inhibitory neurotransmission; and attenuation of glutamate-mediated excitatory neurotransmission. The principal pharmacological targets of currently available AEDs are highlighted in Table 1 and discussed further below.

Typically, neuropathic pain is difficult to manage and, as a result, leads to progression into a chronic condition that is, in many instances, refractory to medical management. Recent Findings Gabapentinoids, belonging to the calcium channel blocking class of drugs, have shown good efficacy in the management of chronic pain and are thus commonly utilized as first-line therapy. Various sodium channel blocking drugs, belonging to the categories of anticonvulsants and local anesthetics, have demonstrated varying degrees of efficacy in the in the treatment of neurogenic pain. Summary Though there is limited medical literature as to efficacy of any one drug, individualized multimodal therapy can provide significant analgesia to patients with chronic neuropathic pain.

The E‑mail: [email protected] results of these studies thus raise the question of whether all anticonvulsant drugs or particular mechanistic classes may be efficacious in the treatment of neuropathic pain syndromes. Aim: The aim was to compare the clinically used anticonvulsant drugs which are differ in their mechanism of action in a chronic pain model, the chronic constriction injury, in order to determine if all anticonvulsants or only particular mechanistic classes of anticonvulsants are analgesic. Materials and Methods: The study included zonisamide, ethosuximide and pregabalin. All compounds were anticonvulsant with diverse mechanism of actions. The peripheral neuropathic pain was induced by chronic constriction injury of the sciatic nerve in male Sprague‑Dawley rats. Zonisamide (80 and 40 mg/kg), ethosuximide (300 and 100 mg/kg), pregabalin (50 and 20 mg/kg), and saline was administered intraperitoneally in respective groups in a blinded, randomized manner from postoperative day (POD) 7‑13.

It is important for neurologists to understand the rationale for AEDs in migraine- preventive treatment, as well as each agent’s efficacy and tolerability profile, in order to best determine clinical care. Purpose of this review This article specifically provides the following: (1) a review of the mechanism of action, efficacy, and tolerability of topiramate and divalproex sodium/ sodium valproate, the most widely used AEDs for migraine prevention, (2) a discussion on emerging evidence regarding the efficacy of zonisamide and levetiracetam, and (3) comments on gabapentin, pregabalin, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, and lamotrigine, AEDs which have insufficient evidence for use in migraine prevention. Recent findings The potential role for new extended-release formulations of topiramate in migraine prevention is discussed. Summary There is substantial evidence supporting the use of AEDs in migraine prevention. Specific agents should be chosen based on their efficacy and tolerability profiles.
