We tested the ability of dapsone (4,4'-diamino-diphenyl sulfone) to attenuate kainic acid-induced seizures. We observed that 9.375 and 12.5 mg/kg doses of dapsone administered 30 min before a single kainic acid (10 mg/kg) i.p. injection were able to decrease the time of electroencephalographic seizures by 52% and 82%, respectively, as compared with rats administered with 10 mg/kg kainic acid only. The 12.5 mg/kg dose of dapsone was also able to diminish both kainic acid-evoked body and head shakes (58%) and kainic acid-induced mortality (75%). These results suggest that dapsone could be used in clinical trials as anticonvulsant.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007608 Kainic Acid (2S-(2 alpha,3 beta,4 beta))-2-Carboxy-4-(1-methylethenyl)-3-pyrrolidineacetic acid. Ascaricide obtained from the red alga Digenea simplex. It is a potent excitatory amino acid agonist at some types of excitatory amino acid receptors and has been used to discriminate among receptor types. Like many excitatory amino acid agonists it can cause neurotoxicity and has been used experimentally for that purpose. Digenic Acid,Kainate,Acid, Digenic,Acid, Kainic

D003622 Dapsone A sulfone active against a wide range of bacteria but mainly employed for its actions against MYCOBACTERIUM LEPRAE. Its mechanism of action is probably similar to that of the SULFONAMIDES which involves inhibition of folic acid synthesis in susceptible organisms. It is also used with PYRIMETHAMINE in the treatment of malaria.

D012640 Seizures Clinical or subclinical disturbances of cortical function due to a sudden, abnormal, excessive, and disorganized discharge of brain cells. Clinical manifestations include abnormal motor, sensory and psychic phenomena. Recurrent seizures are usually referred to as EPILEPSY or "seizure disorder."
