Popis: About one third of all patients with epilepsy have pharmacoresistant seizures. Thus there is a need for better pharmacological treatments. The human voltage-gated potassium (hKIon channels were expressed in Xenopus oocytes or mammalian cell lines and explored with two-electrode voltage-clamp or automated patch-clamp techniques. Unwanted vascular side effects were investigated with isometric tension recordings. Antiseizure activity was studied in an electrophysiological zebrafish-larvae model.Fourteen resin acid derivatives were tested on hKThe described resin acid derivatives hold promise for new antiseizure medications, with reduced risk for adverse effects compared with retigabine.
