摘要: The effects of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist MK-801 and dihydropyridine calcium channel nimodipine were assessed for their anticonvulsant activity alone in combination against clonic convulsions to pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) strychnine (STR) mice. Nimodipine (2-20 mg/kg) (0.1 0.5 did not affect number mice displaying PTZ. However, a dose-dependent manner increased (100%) latency lethality (mortality from tonic extension respiratory failure) following In contrast, increase PTZ convulsions, but prevented lethal When combined, produced significant reduction animals (40-60%) greater than alone. decreased onset time, severity STR convulsions. A which afforded protection These findings suggest that nimodipine, while possessing on own, produce potent synergism STR.
