title: [Blockade of the alpha3alpha4 N-cholinoreceptors and GluR1 AMPA receptors eliminates clonic-tonic nicotinic and kainate seizures].
abstract: Monoammonium N-alkyl derivative of decylamine (IEM-1678), which blocks alpha3beta4 N-cholinoreceptors (but does not block GluR1 AMPA receptors), in doses of 1.0 - 3.0 mg/kg produces a 4-fold decrease in the frequency and lethality of nicotinic clonic-tonic seizures. However, even in the maximum dose of 3 mg/kg, IEM-1678 only slightly decreases kainate clonic-tonic seizures. Bis-ammonium compound IEM-1460 (containing adamantyl radical), which blocks both GluR1 AMPA receptors and alpha3beta4 N-cholinoreceptors, in a range of doses 0.1 - 3 mg/kg produces a 5- to 8-fold decrease in the frequency and virtually completely eliminates lethality of both clonic-tonic nicotinic and kainate seizures. Hence, the complete elimination of generalized kainate and nicotinic seizures requires combined blockade GluR1 AMPA and alpha3beta4 N-cholinoreceptors.
