The effect of acutely administered beta-casomorphin derivatives on pentylenetetrazol-kindled mice.
Some of the Tyr-containing and desTyr beta-casomorphin derivatives were tested for their anticonvulsant action in pentylenetatrazol-kindled mice. It was demonstrated that some of these substances exert powerful action against kindled seizures, suggesting therapeutical usefulness.
