Biological Activity

Description Zonisamide (Zonegran,CI-912,AD 810) is a voltage-dependent sodium channel and T-type calcium channel blocker, used as an antiepileptic drug.
Targets
Sodium channel [1]
In vitro

Zonisamide inhibits monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) activity in vitro with an IC(50) of 25 μM. [1]

In vivo

Zonisamide modifies dopamine (DA) activity, provides protection in ischemia mice models and influences antioxidant systems. Zonisamide attenuates the reduction in striatal contents of DA, its metabolite DOPAC and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH). [1] Zonisamide (10 and 30 mg/kg) produces antihyperalgesic and antiallodynic effects in a dose-dependent manner, these effects are manifested by elevation of the withdrawal threshold in response to a thermal (plantar test) or mechanical (von Frey) stimulus, respectively.. Zonisamide produces antinociceptive effects against acute thermal and mechanical nociception in non-ligated mice. [2] Zonisamide reduces the cortical infarction volume to 6% from 68% in vehicle-treated controls and the striatal volume to 8% from 78% in rats. Zonisamide also reduces neuronal necrosis in 5 hippocampal regions (the dentate gyrus, CA4, CA3, CA1, and the subiculum) in rats. [3] Zonisamide causes increase in the quantity of EAAC-1 protein in hippocampus and cortex and down regulation of the GABA transporter GAT-1 in rats with hippocampal seizures. [4] Zonisamide inhibits both the 50 mM KCl-evoked hippocampal glutamate release (AUC for 60 min) from 9.2 mM to 5.8 mM in urethane-anaesthetized rats, as well as the stimulatory effects of Ca2+ on KCl-evoked hippocampal glutamate release.
