The aim of this study was to characterize the anticonvulsant effects of levetiracetam (LEV) in combination with lamotrigine (LTG – a second-generation antiepileptic drug), in the mouse 6 Hz psychomotor seizure model. Limbic (psychomotor) seizure activity was evoked in albino Swiss mice by a current (32 mA, 6 Hz, 3 s stimulus duration) delivered via ocular electrodes and isobolographic analysis for parallel dose-response relationship curves (DRRCs) was used to characterize the consequent anticonvulsant interactions between the drug combinations. Results indicated that LEV administered singly was associated with a DRRC that was parallel to that for LTG. With isobolography for parallel DRRCs, the combination of LEV with LTG at three fixed-ratios of 1:3, 1:1 and 3:1 exerted additive interaction. LEV combined with LTG exerted additive interaction in the mouse 6 Hz psychomotor seizure model.

ABSTRACT The stimulating action of testosterone on the chick's comb can be inhibited by the subcutaneous injection of 0.1 mg of norethisterone or Ro 2-7239 (2-acetyl-7-oxo-1,2,3,4,4a,4b,5,6,7,9,10,10a-dodecahydrophenanthrene), 0.5 mg of cortisol or progesterone, and by 4.5 mg of Mer-25 (1-(p-2-diethylaminoethoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-2-p-methoxyphenyl ethanol). No dose response relationship could be established. Norethisterone was the most active anti-androgen by this test.
