Lamotrigine

Synonyms: BW-430C,LTG

Lamotrigine (BW-430C,LTG) is a novel anticonvulsant drug for inhibition of 5-HT with IC50 of 240 μM and 474 μM in human platelets and rat brain synaptosomes, and also is a sodium channel blocker.

Lamotrigine stabilises presynaptic neuronal membranes by blockade of voltage-dependent sodium channels, thus preventing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters, particularly glutamate and aspartate. [1] In rat cerebral cortex tissue incubated with veratrine 10 mg/L, lamotrigine is twice as potent in inhibiting the release of glutamate and aspartate (ED 50 = 5.38 mg/L for each) than the release of GABA (ED50 = 11.2 mg/L), and is much less potent in inhibiting acetylcholine release (ED50 = 25.6 mg/L) when cortical slices is exposed to veratrine 75 mg/L. Basal glutamate release is unaffected . [2]Lamotrigine inhibits high-frequency sustained repetitive firing of sodium-dependent action potentials, indicating a direct effect on voltage-activated sodium channels. [3] Lamotrigine does not induce PCP-like central nervous system (CNS) effects, does not act by direct inhibition at the NMDA receptor, and would be expected to be devoid of the undesirable effects associated with NMDA blockade.

In mice and rats, lamotrigine prevents MES- and pentetrazol-induced hindlimb extension, suggesting an antiepileptic profile in animals. These effects peak 1 hour after lamotrigine administration and persist for more than 24 hours. [4] Lamotrigine is active in the electrically evoked EEG after-discharge test, which is thought to indicate activity against both simple and complex partial seizures. After-discharge duration is reduced dose-dependently by lamotrigine in rats at intravenous doses >5 mg/kg. [5]

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
