Differential effects of prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors on EEG in rat. 1985

M C Wallenstein

The effects of five nonsteriodal prostaglandin (PG) synthetase inhibitors on the electrocorticogram were studied in rats with chronically implanted supracortical electrodes. All of PG synthetase inhibitors produced high voltage activity in the electrocorticogram. However, behavior and spectral analysis of the electrocortical activity suggests that these drugs could be divided into two groups. Meclofenamic acid and mefenamic acid produced dose-related increases in excitation (to seizure) while ibuprofen, paracetamol and indomethacin produced dose-related increases in sedation.
