Oxycarbazepine is derivative of caramazepine. Epoxide generation after its metabolism of
carbamazepine. It attributes the side effect and may produce the condition aplastic anemia. This
side effect is reduced by the oxycarbazepine. The monohydroxy compound is the major active
metabolite of oxycarbazepine. Oxycarbazepine is used in the treatment of partial seizures.

7.10 ALIPHATIC ACID AGENT

1. Valproic Acid (Depakene®): 2-prophylpentanoic acid. Valproic acid represents the anticonvulsant
action by blocking Na
++
channels and increases the level of GABA in the brain. Valproic acid is
employed in the treatment of myoclonic and generalized tonic-clonic seizures.

Second generation anticonvulsant are GABA analogues.
1. Vigabatrin (Sabril®): 4-amino-5-hexanoic acid. Vigabatrin is 4-amino-5-hexanoic acid. It is a
recemeate of R and S form of vigabatrin. Its isomer is an active component. Vigabatrin inhibits
GABA-transaminose enzyme therefore increases the level of GABA in the brain, hence it acts as
anticonvulsant agent.

2. Gabapentin (Neurontin®): 1-(amino-methyl)-cyclohexane-acetic acid. Like vigabatrin gabapentin
increase the hydrophobic character, it is relative to GABA. It is identified that acts on the Ca
++
ion
channels by their inhibitory mechanism. Gabapentine is used in the therapy of partial seizures and
generalized tonic-clonic seizures.
3. Felbamate (Felbatol®): 2-phenyl-1, 3-propandiol-dicarbamate. Felbamate is carbamate derivative.
Its action has been identified by its inhibitory action on voltage dependent Na
++
channels. NMDA
receptor is also a target of felbamate. Felbamate is widely used in the treatment of generalized tonic-
clonic and partial seizures.
4. Lamotrigine (Lamictal®): 3, 5-diamino-6-[2, 3-dichlorophenyl]-1, 2, 4-triazine. Lamotrigine is
triazine analogue and is believed to have primary action on sodium ion channels by their inhibitory
action. Apart from that, lamotriqine prevents the release of glutamate. Lamotrigine is clinically used
in the treatment of partial seizures.

5. Tiagabine (Gabitril®): (R)-(–)1-[4, 4-bis-(3-methyl-thienyl-3-butenyl]-3 piperidine carboxylic
acid.
Tiagabine is a nipecotic acid derivative. It is GABA-re-uptake inhibitor and increase the required
level of GABA in the brain. Tiagabine is used against partial seizures.
6. Sulfonamide and sulfamate derivatives: Zonisamide (Zonegran®): 1, 2-benzisoxazole-3-
methanesulfonamide.
Topiramate (Topamax®): 2, 3, 4, 5-bis-O-(1-methylethyl-idene)-β-D-fructopyranose sulfamate.
Both are sodium ion channel blockers. Zonisamide is calcium-T-channels blocker while Topiramate
inhibits the action of glutamate. Kainic acid thus increases the level of GABA. Both drugs are used
against partial seizures.

7.12 OTHER MISCELLANEOUS ANTIEPILEPTIC AGENTS

1. Primidone (Mysoline®): 5-ethyldihydro-5-phenyl-4, -6-(1H, 5H)-Pyrimidinedione
Primidone is 2-deoxyanalogue of Phenobarbital. Primidone shows a potent anticonvulsant agents
in conjunction with other antiepileptic drugs, it exhibits tremendous action against seizures. It is
clinically used in the treatment of psychomotor condition, grandmal and focal epileptic stages.

1. All the pharmacophores are based on the structure-activity data of MES-receptors.
2. All the anticonvulsant classes of pharmacophores are concerned with distinguished anti-
MES activity in the testing animals studies. All the classes include benzodiazepines, barbiturates,
triazolines, semicarbazones and enaminones respectively.
3. All distinguished classes of anticonvulsants show similar anticonvulsant profiles.

4. The Unverferth model postulates the favourable representation towards anticonvulsant activity
and this model also favours suitable possible candidate among the derivatives.
5. The required features include the anticonvulsant properties.
(i) Pharmacophores must have at least one aryl ring I hydrophobic unit (X)
(ii) One electron donor (Y) serve as important role.
(iii) A second donor atom in close proximity to the N-H group required for generation of
hydrogen bond acceptor/donor (HAD) unit.

Antiparkinsonism Agents

8.1 INTRODUCTION

Parkinsonism or Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common form of progressive
neurodegenerative disorders. About 1 million individuals in United States (over 55 years) are affected
by the PD. However, it has been studied that its peak age of its onset 60s of affected person’s life.
The clinical features of Parkinson’s disease include bradykinesia (slowness of cognitive activities),
impairment of movement, rest tremor (85% of patients), muscular rigidity, shuffling gait and flexed
posture, etc. Parkinson’s disease is postulated by a variety of non-motor symptoms like autonomic,
sensory, sleep, cognitive and psychiatric disturbances. All types of Parkinson’s diseases result from
a dramatic reduction of dopaminergic stimulation within the basal ganglia of brain. PD affects about
1% of the general population.
Parkinson’s disorders generally characterized by an earlier age of onset (before age 45 years)
and a longer course than cases of “sporadic PD. This type of Parkinson’s disorder is generally
represented by genetic form LLRK-2 in the same age range. There are also a number of factors
which cause PD like family history, gender, head injury, exposure of pesticides, consumption of
well water, rural living factors. Other factors include coffee drinking, smoking, NSAIDS, estrogen
replacement therapy.

8.2 ETIOLOGY OF PARKINSON

Exact etiology of PD is still not known. The most likely cause of the aforementioned motor stimulation
problems may be a lack of dopamine neurotransmitter (inhibitory action on spinal cord). On the
other hand, cholinergic neurons act in regulating the extrapyramidal system. Various alkaloid drugs
like belladonna, which have characteristics of cholinergic action (reduce the sensitivity to Ach)
have been used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disorders.
