배경: 흉부 및 흉복부 대동맥의 수술 중 대동맥 차단은 허혈성 척수 손상에 의한 하반신 마비와 같은 심각한 합병증을 유발할 수도 있어 수술 중 허혈성 척수손상을 예방하기 위한 여러 방법의 연구가 계속 되고 있다. 최근에 허혈성 대뇌 손상 모델에서 신경조직의 막전위 의존성 나트륨채널 길항제가 대뇌 보호 효과가 있다는 보고가 있다. 본 연구는 토끼의 허혈성 척수손상 모델에서 나트륨채널 길항제인 페니토인과 저체온의 척수보호효과를 비교해 보고자 시행되었다. 대상 및 방법: 뉴질랜드산 토끼의 신동맥직하부에서 복부대동맥을 25분간 차단하는 방식으로 척수허혈을 유도하였으며 각 군당 8마리씩 네 군으로 나누었다. 대조군과(S39) 저체온군은(S37) 대동맥 차단시간 동안 직장온도를 각기 $39^{\circ}C$와 $37^{\circ}C$로 일정하게 유지하면서 $22^{\circ}C$ 생리적 식염수만 2 mL/min의 속도로 연속 주입하였으며, 정상체온 및 저체온 페니토인 군은(P39, P37) 앞의 두 군과 동일한 방법으로 하되 생리적 식염수에 페니토인을 녹여 주입하였다(100 mg/50 mL). 수술 후 24시간 및 72시간이 경과한 다음 Tarlov scoring을 통해 신경학적 평가를 시행하였고 마지막 평가 후에는 객관적으로 신경손상의 정도를 정량화하기 위해 척수를 고정 처리하였다. 결과: 페니토인의 역행성 주입에 따른 심각한 문제는 없었으며 대조군에(S39) 속한 모든 동물은 완전 또는 심한 하반신 마비 소견을 보였다. 페니토인과(P39) 저체온(S37)군 모두 대조군에 비해 신경학적 평가는 유사한 정도로 우수한 결과를 보였다(p<0.05). 조직 병리학적 검사 결과, 대조군에 속한 모든 동물은 척수 회백질에서 심한 신경조직 괴사 때 보이는 전형적인 특징을 보여주었으며, TUNEL 염색에 양성인 신경세포도 높은 빈도로 관찰되었으나, 저체온 또는 페니토인 투여 군에서는 괴사현상이 유의한 정도로 감소하였으며, 상대적으로 매우 낮은 빈도의 TUNL 염색 양성세포가 관찰되었다(p<0.05). 그러나 저체온과 페니토인을 병용했을 때의 부가적인 척수보호효과를 조사해 본 결과 신경학적 평가와 조직병리학적 결과 모두 유의한 수준의 부가적인 효과는 없었다. 걸론: 결론적으로, 토끼의 허혈성 척수 손상 모델을 이용하여 페니토인과 저체온의 신경보호효과를 알아본 결과 신경학적 평가와 조직병리학적 검사 결과 모두 부가적인 효과는 보여주지 못했지만 각각의 경우 유사한 정도의 신경보호효과를 보여주었다.

The inhibitory potentials of TCAs (imipramine, desipramine, amitriptyline, and nortriptyline) on phenytoin p-hydroxylation and probe metabolic pathways of each CYP isoforms were evaluated from incubation studies of human liver microsomes and cDNA-expressed cytochrome P450s in vitro in order to understand the mechanism of drug interaction between TCAs and phenytoin, a substrate of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19.

The teratogenic potential of the anticonvulsant drug phenytoin (PHT) has been well documented both in the human and in the experimental animals. However there are few reports on the effects of PHT on embryonic development in rats in vitro. The present study was performed to evaluate the teratogenic effects of PHT using whole-embryo culture system in rats. Sprague-Dawley rat embryos were explanted on gestational day (GD) 9.5 and cultured for 48 hrs in the immediately centrifuged and heat-inactivated rat serum containing 0,25,50, or $100{\mu}g$ PHT/mL. At the end of culture period the embryos were scored for morphological development according to the procedure of Van Maele-Fabry, and their total protein contents were determined. At 100 ${\mu}$g/mL of culture medium. PHT caused significant reduction in developmental score and protein content of embryos and a high incidence morphological abnormalities (100%). Characteristic malformations included altered yolk and embryonic circulation, craniofacial hypoplasia, neural tube schisis, branchial arch defects, abnormal ratation, and limb bud hypoplasia, among others. There were no adverse effects on embryonic growth and development at concentrations of 25 and 50 ${\mu}$g /mL of culture medium. The results indicated that the dysmorphogenic effect of PHT on cultured embryos is due to a direct interference with embryonic development.

Phenytoin(PHT), a commonly prescribed anticonvulsant, has been known as a teratogen in experimental animals and human. However, PHT has strain-specific teratogenic effects for mice and human. Dimethyl sulfoxids(DMSO) has been known to antagonize the teratogenic effects of secalonic acid D, a toxic mold metabolite that has similar teratogenic effects to PHT. Therefore, this study was performed to examine the embryopathic effects of PHT in terms of treatment period and the antiteratogenic effect of DMSO in ICR mice. PHT(75mg/kg, BW) was administered intrapetitoneally on day 10, 10-11 and 10-12 of gestation with or without DMSO(2ml/kg, BW), and the fetal malformation was observed on day 18. Major malformation of fetuses treated with PHT on day 10, 10-11 and 10-12 of gestation was cleft palate, and the percentages of fetus with cleft palate were 14.5%, 31.7% and 51.7%, respectively. Also, there was a significant decrease of cleft palate from 51.7% in PHT alone group to 30.8% in PHT plus DMSO group. Our findings suggest that cleft palate is one of major malformation by PHT treatment in ICR mouse and DMSO has strong antiteratogenic effect.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) of rats was modificated opening reversibly by infusing a hyperosmotic solution of arabinose (1.6 molal) into the right external carotid artery. Pre vious studies demonstrated that permeability was increased maxmmally in the first 15 min and remained slightly elevated at 1 hr. As control reference, saline was used. In the present study, to evaluate the effects of osmotic BBB opening on the BBB trasport according to hydrophilic or hydrophobic characteristics of drugs. And the differences of the uptakes of these compounds to right (treated osmotic opening) and left (untreated) hemispheres in same rats were compared each other following injection of 8 mCi per rat of $^{99m}Tc$-ethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) as hydrophilic drug or 5mg/kg of phenytoin as hydrophobic drug mto the right external carotid artery of rats between two groups (1.6 molal arabinose vs saline). The uptakes of $^{99m}Tc$-DTPA and phenytoin in the right cerebral hemispheres were increased to about thirty three times and twice rather than those in the left cerebral heimspheres, respectively. And PAs (permeability X capillary surface area) were also increased from a control mean of 2.11${\times}10^{-4}$ (Untreated) to 6.98${\times}10^{-3}\;sec^{-1}$ (treated osmotic opening for $^{99m}Tc$-DTPA and 0.29 to 0.17 $sec^{-1}$ for phenytoin, respectively. From the results of present study, it is noted that osmotic opening of BBB is more effective in the brain delivery of hydrophilic drugs rather than that of hydrophobic drugs.

Callus cultures of Convolvulus microphyllus Sieb. was induced on Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with 2,4-dichloro phenoxy acetic acid, 6-benzyl adenine, indole acetic acid and kinetin (1 ppm each). Methanolic extracts of whole plant, leaf, stem and leaf and stem calli were tested for anticonvulsant activity against standard drug phenytoin using maximal electroshock model on mice. It was observed that the animals treated with methanolic extracts of stem callus, leaf callus and whole plant (200 mg/kg, oral) showed significant protection against tonic convulsions induced by transcorneal electroshock. Anticonvulsant activity of methanolic extract of stem callus was comparable to that of standard drug phenytoin.

Dysplasia-associated seizure disorders are markedly resistant to pharmacological intervention. Relatively little research has been conducted studying the effects of antiepileptic drugs(AEDs)on seizure activity in a rat model of dysplasia. We have used rats exposed to methylazoxymethanol acetate(MAM) in utero, an animal model featuring nodular heterotopia, to investigate the effects of AEDs in the dysplastic brain. Pilocarpine was used to induce acute seizure in MAM-exposed and age-matched vehicle-injected control animals. Field potential recordings were used to monitor amplitude and numbers of population spikes, and paired pulse inhibition in response to stimulation of commissural pathway. Two commonly used AEDs were tested: diazepam 5, 2.5 mg/kg; phenytoin 40, 60 mg/kg. Diazepam(DZP) and phenytoin(PHT) reduced the amplitude of population spike in control and MAM-exposed rats. However, the amplitude of population spike was nearly eliminated in control rats as compared to the MAM-exposed rats. Pharmaco-resistance was tested by measuring seizure latencies in awake rats after pilocarpine administration(320 mg/kg, i.p.) with and without pretreatment with AEDs. Pre-treatment with PHT 60 mg prolonged seizure latency in control rats, but not in MAM-exposed animals. The main findings of this study are that acute seizures initiated in MAM-exposed rats are relatively resistant to standard AEDs assessed in vivo. These data suggest that animal model with cortical dysplasia can be used to screen the effects of potential AEDs.
