Bioactivity | Seletracetam (Ucb 44212) lithium bromide, an analog of the antiepileptic agent Levetiracetam, is a SV2A modulator for the research of epilepsy[1][2][3]. |
Target | IC50: SV2A |
Invitro | Seletracetam displays one-log-unit higher affinity (pKi=7.1) than Levetiracetam (6.1) to the LEV-binding site[2].Seletracetam lithium bromide inhibits high-voltage-activated Ca2+ currents and intracellular Ca2+ increase in rat cortical neurons in vitro[2].Seletracetam (1-10 μM) lithium bromide reduces both the amplitude and repetitive firing of population spikes induced by a high K+/low Ca2+ concentration fluid (HKLCF) in rat hippocampal slices[3]. |
In Vivo | Seletracetam (intraperitoneal injection) lithium bromide displays potent protection against secondary generalised motor seizures in fully corneally-kindled mice (ED50 0.31 mg/kg). In audiogenic seizure susceptible mice, Seletracetam (i.p) protects against clonic convulsion expression with an ED50 of 0.17 mg/kg[3].Seletracetam (0.0074 mg/kg to 74 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection) lithium bromide increases the generalized seizure threshold current and decreases the duration of the after-discharge and the seizure severity observed at the after-discharge threshold current, and generally has a much more potent effect than previously observed for Levetiracetam[3].
