Abstract
According to the 2017 ILAE's official definition, epilepsy is a slow brain disease state characterized by recurrent episodes. Due to information released by ILAE in 2017, it can be divided into four types, including focal epilepsy, generalized epilepsy, combined generalized, and focal epilepsy, and unknown epilepsy. Since 1989, 24 new antiepileptic drugs have been approved to treat different types of epilepsy. Besides, there are a variety of antiepileptic medications under clinical monitoring. These novel antiepileptic drugs have plenty of advantages. Over the past 33 years, there have been many antiepileptic drugs on the mearket, but no one has been found that can completely cure epilepsy. In this paper, the mentioned drugs were classified according to their targets, and the essential information, and clinical studies of each drug were described. The structure-activity relationship of different chemical structures was summarized. This paper provides help for the follow-up research on epilepsy drugs.

Colloidal therapeutics in the management of traumatic brain injury: Portray of biomarkers and drug-targets, preclinical and clinical pieces of evidence and future prospects. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2023; 230:113509. [PMID: 37595379 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2023.113509] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/05/2023] [Indexed: 08/20/2023]
Abstract
Complexity associated with the aberrant physiology of traumatic brain injury (TBI) makes its therapeutic targeting vulnerable. The underlying mechanisms of pathophysiology of TBI are yet to be completely illustrated. Primary injury in TBI is associated with contusions and axonal shearing whereas excitotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, free radicals generation, and neuroinflammation are considered under secondary injury. MicroRNAs, proinflammatory cytokines, and Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) recently emerged as biomarkers in TBI. In addition, several approved therapeutic entities have been explored to target existing and newly identified drug-targets in TBI. However, drug delivery in TBI is hampered due to disruption of blood-brain barrier (BBB) in secondary TBI, as well as inadequate drug-targeting and retention effect. Colloidal therapeutics appeared helpful in providing enhanced drug availability to the brain owing to definite targeting strategies. Moreover, immense efforts have been put together to achieve increased bioavailability of therapeutics to TBI by devising effective targeting strategies. The potential of colloidal therapeutics to efficiently deliver drugs at the site of injury and down-regulate the mediators of TBI are serving as novel policies in the management of TBI. Therefore, in present manuscript, we have illuminated a myriad of molecular-targets currently identified and recognized in TBI. Moreover, particular emphasis is given to frame armamentarium of repurpose drugs which could be utilized to block molecular targets in TBI in addition to drug delivery barriers. The critical role of colloidal therapeutics such as liposomes, nanoparticles, dendrimers, and exosomes in drug delivery to TBI through invasive and non-invasive routes has also been highlighted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuroinflammation subsequent to traumatic brain injury (TBI) is important for the recovery of patients and is associated with neurodegenerative changes post-TBI. The tripartite motif containing 44 (TRIM44) protein is an E3 ligase involved in the regulation of immune function with no previously known link to TBI. This study explores the connection between TRIM44 and TBI. METHODS After induction of TBI in rats by control cortex injury, TRIM44 expressions were determined with quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot, and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-NF-κB signaling was examined by the expression of TLR4, p65 phosphorylation, and the specific NF-κB transcription activity. The effects of TRIM44 knockdown on inflammation, neurological function, and TLR4-NF-κB signaling in TBI rats were revealed by the detection of proinflammatory cytokines and TLR4-NF-κB signaling molecules, modified neurological severity score, brain water content, and Evans blue permeability. RESULTS We found that TRIM44 expression was significantly increased following TBI induction along with TLR4-NF-κB activation. Silencing of TRIM44 suppressed proinflammatory cytokine production, improved neurological outcomes, alleviated brain edema, and inhibited TLR4-NF-κB signaling in TBI rats. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that suppressing TRIM44 or modulation of relevant pathways may be a therapeutic strategy for TBI.

Mol Med Rep 2021; 24:544.

Abstract
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a subtype of stroke with high mortality and morbidity due to the lack of effective therapies. The alpha‑amino‑3‑hydroxy‑5‑methyl‑4‑isoxazolepropionic acid receptor antagonist perampanel has been reported to alleviate early brain injury following subarachnoid hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury by reducing reactive oxygen species, apoptosis, autophagy, and necroptosis. Necroptosis is a caspase‑independent programmed cell death mechanism that serves a vital role in neuronal cell death following ICH. However, the precise role of necroptosis in perampanel‑mediated neuroprotection following ICH has not been confirmed. The present study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects and potential molecular mechanisms of perampanel in ICH‑induced early brain injury by regulating neural necroptosis in C57BL/6 mice and in a hemin‑induced neuron damage cell culture model. Mortality, neurological score, brain water content, and neuronal death were evaluated. The results demonstrated that perampanel treatment increased the survival rate and neurological score, and increased neuron survival. In addition, perampanel treatment downregulated the protein expression levels of receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase (RIP) 1, RIP3, and mixed lineage kinase domain like pseudokinase, and of the cytokines IL‑1β, IL‑6, TNF‑α, and NF‑κB. These results indicated that perampanel‑mediated inhibition of necroptosis and neuroinflammation ameliorated neuronal death in vitro and in vivo following ICH. The neuroprotective capacity of perampanel was partly dependent on the PTEN pathway. Taken together, the results of the present study demonstrated that perampanel improved neurological outcomes in mice and reduced neuronal death by protecting against neural necroptosis and neuroinflammation.

Abstract
The poor endogenous recovery capacity and other impediments to reinstating sensorimotor or autonomic function after adult neurotrauma have perplexed modern neuroscientists, bioengineers, and physicians for over a century. However, despite limited improvement in options to mitigate acute pathophysiological sequalae, the past 20 years have witnessed marked progresses in developing efficacious rehabilitation strategies for chronic spinal cord and brain injuries. The achievement is mainly attributable to research advancements in elucidating neuroplastic mechanisms for the potential to enhance clinical prognosis. Innovative cross-disciplinary studies have established novel therapeutic targets, theoretical frameworks, and regiments to attain treatment efficacy. This Special Issue contained eight papers that described experimental and human data along with literature reviews regarding the essential roles of the conventionally undervalued factors in neural repair: systemic inflammation, neural-respiratory inflammasome axis, modulation of glutamatergic and monoaminergic neurotransmission, neurogenesis, nerve transfer, recovery neurobiology components, and the spinal cord learning, respiration and central pattern generator neurocircuits. The focus of this work was on how to induce functional recovery from manipulating these underpinnings through their interactions with secondary injury events, peripheral and supraspinal inputs, neuromusculoskeletal network, and interventions (i.e., activity training, pharmacological adjuncts, electrical stimulation, and multimodal neuromechanical, brain-computer interface [BCI] and robotic assistance [RA] devices). The evidence suggested that if key neurocircuits are therapeutically reactivated, rebuilt, and/or modulated under proper sensory feedback, neurological function (e.g., cognition, respiration, limb movement, locomotion, etc.) will likely be reanimated after neurotrauma. The efficacy can be optimized by individualizing multimodal rehabilitation treatments via BCI/RA-integrated drug administration and neuromechanical protheses.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is among the most debilitating neurological disorders with inadequate therapeutic options. It affects all age groups globally leading to post-TBI behavioral challenges and life-long disabilities requiring interventions for these health issues. In the current study, C57BL/6J mice were induced with TBI through the weight-drop method, and outcomes of acutely administered ketamine alone and in combination with perampanel were observed. The impact of test drugs was evaluated for post-TBI behavioral changes by employing the open field test (OFT), Y-maze test, and novel object recognition test (NOR). After that, isolated plasma and brain homogenates were analyzed for inflammatory modulators, i.e., NF-κB and iNOS, through ELISA. Moreover, metabolomic studies were carried out to further authenticate the TBI rescuing potential of drugs. The animals treated with ketamine-perampanel combination demonstrated improved exploratory behavior in OFT (P < 0.05), while ketamine alone as well as in combination yielded anxiolytic effect (P < 0.05-0.001) in posttraumatic mice. Similarly, the % spontaneous alternation and % discrimination index were increased after the administration of ketamine alone (P < 0.05) and ketamine-perampanel combination (P < 0.01-0.001) in the Y-maze test and NOR test, respectively. ELISA demonstrated the reduced central and peripheral expression of NF-κB (P < 0.05) and iNOS (P < 0.01-0.0001) after ketamine-perampanel polypharmacy. The TBI-imparted alteration in plasma metabolites was restored by drug combination as evidenced by metabolomic studies. The outcomes were fruitful with ketamine, but the combination therapy proved more significant in improving all studied parameters. The benefits of this new investigated polypharmacy might be due to their antiglutamatergic, antioxidant, and neuroprotective capacity.
