Mechanism of Action

sodium channel
Calcium Channel
AMPA/kainate receptor
Carbonic anhydrase
In vitro
Topiramate slightly inhibits the persistent fraction of Na+ current in dissociated neurons and reduces the Na+-dependent long-lasting action potential shoulders, which can be evoked in layer V pyramidal neurons after Ca+ and K+ current blockade in neocortical slices. This compound at low concentrations (IC50, approximately 0.5 mM) selectively inhibits pharmacologically isolated excitatory synaptic currents mediated by kainate receptors containing the GluR5 subunit in whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings from principal neurons of the rat basolateral amygdala. It also partially depresses predominantly AMPA-receptor-mediated EPSCs, but with lower efficacy. This chemical suppresses voltage-sensitive Na+ channels and non-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors and enhances gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated inhibition. It selectively inhibits postsynaptic responses mediated by GluR5 kainate receptors.
In vivo
Topiramate (25-100 mg/kg, i.p.) produces a dose-dependent elevation in the threshold for clonic seizures induced by infusion of ATPA, a selective agonist of GluR5 kainate receptors. This compound effectively suppresses acute seizures induced by perinatalhypoxia in a dose-related manner with a calculated ED50 of 2.1 mg/kg, i.p. It (20 and 40 mg/kg i.p.) inhibits both tonic and absence-like seizures in a dose-dependent manner, whereas Phenytoin (20 mg/kg i.p.) and Zonisamide (40 mg/kg i.p.) inhibits only the tonic seizures. This chemical inhibits sound-induced seizures in DBA/2 mice (ED50 = 8.6 mg/kg p.o.).
