title: Anticonvulsant activity of enzyme inhibitors in rats.
abstract: Three liver microsomal enzyme inhibitors, proadifen, 2,4-dichloro-6-phenylphenoxyethyldiethylamine, and 2,4-dichloro-6-phenylphenoxyethylamine, and a hepatotoxic agent, carbon tetrachloride, were tested for anticonvulsant activity in adult male albino rats using the maximal electroshock seizure technique. All four substances exhibited significant anticonvulsant activity 1 hr after intraperitoneal administration. This protection was absent when tested 24 hr later.
