Three New α-Pyrone Derivatives with Antiepileptic Activity from the Marine Actinomycete Nocardiopsis sp. NBUDK19 - Epilepsy is a serious brain disease that urgently needs new drugs to treat it. In this study, three new α-pyrone derivatives, nocardipones A - C (1 - 3), were isolated from the sponge-associated actinomycete Nocardiopsis sp. NBUDK19 guided by anti-epileptic bioactivity using an in vivo zebrafish model. Compounds 1 - 3 were isolated and purified by silica gel column chromatography combined with ...

Modelling Epilepsy Associated Alzheimer's Disease Through Mitochondrial Complex-I Inhibition: Neurochemical and Therapeutic Perspectives - Alzheimer's disease (AD) is comorbid condition in epilepsy. Mitochondrial dysfunction serves as a common disease mechanism. This study aimed to develop a new mouse of epilepsy-associated AD by inhibiting mitochondrial complex-I and exploring neurochemistry to identify therapeutic targets. Swiss albino mice were divided into naïve, corneal kindled (CK), and rotenone corneal kindled (RCK) groups....

Practical management of repeated life-threatening status epilepticus in Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood: Case report and literature review - BACKGROUND: Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood (AHC) is a severe channelopathy that manifests before 18 months of age, primarily caused by pathogenic variants in the ATP1A3 gene. It is characterized by recurrent and disabling episodes of plegia, dystonia, dysautonomia, along with chronic neurological features and cardiac arrhythmias. About 50% of AHC patients have epilepsy, and a subset of the...
