The effect of denzimol (DNZ) on the disposition of carbamazepine (CBZ) and its primary metabolite carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide (CBZ-E) in serum, liver, spleen and seven brain regions of the rat was assessed. Coadministration with DNZ for 5 or 10 days resulted in an increase in CBZ and a decrease in CBZ-E concentrations in serum, liver and spleen, consistent with a metabolic (hepatic cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenases) inhibitory interaction. After 15 days of co-administration the concentration of CBZ-E was also increased in these tissues, suggestive of epoxide hydratase inhibition in addition. The magnitude of these concentration changes was much greater in the brain indicating that the total serum concentration of CBZ or CBZ-E may not be a reliable index of the neuropharmacological severity of CBZ-DNZ interaction.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D002220 Carbamazepine A dibenzazepine that acts as a sodium channel blocker. It is used as an anticonvulsant for the treatment of grand mal and psychomotor or focal SEIZURES. It may also be used in the management of BIPOLAR DISORDER, and has analgesic properties.
