Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is important to assess the effectiveness of an antiseizure medication in treating different epilepsy aetiologies to optimise individualised therapeutic approaches. Data from the PERaMpanel pooled analysIs of effecTiveness and tolerability (PERMIT) Extension study were used to assess the effectiveness and safety/tolerability of perampanel (PER) when used to treat individuals with a range of epilepsy aetiologies in clinical practice. METHODS A post hoc analysis was conducted of PERMIT Extension data from individuals with a known aetiology. Retention was assessed after 3, 6 and 12 months. Effectiveness was assessed after 3, 6 and 12 months and at the last visit (last observation carried forward). Effectiveness assessments included responder rate (≥ 50% seizure frequency reduction) and seizure freedom rate (no seizures since at least the prior visit). Safety/tolerability was assessed by evaluating adverse events (AEs) and AEs leading to discontinuation. RESULTS PERMIT Extension included 1945 individuals with structural aetiology, 1012 with genetic aetiology, 93 with an infectious aetiology, and 26 with an immune aetiology. Retention rates at 12 months were 61.1% (structural), 65.9% (genetic), 56.8% (infectious) and 56.5% (immune). At the last visit, responder rates (total seizures) were 43.3% (structural), 68.3% (genetic), 37.0% (infectious) and 20.0% (immune), and corresponding seizure freedom rates were 15.8%, 46.5%, 11.1% and 5.0%, respectively. AE incidence rates were 58.0% (structural), 46.5% (genetic), 51.1% (infectious) and 65.0% (immune), and corresponding rates of discontinuation due to AEs over 12 months were 18.9%, 16.4%, 18.5% and 21.7%, respectively. The types of AEs reported were generally consistent across aetiology subgroups, with no idiosyncratic AEs emerging. CONCLUSION Although PER was effective and generally well tolerated when used to treat individuals with a range of epilepsy aetiologies in clinical practice, variability in its effectiveness and tolerability across the subgroups indicates that PER may be particularly useful for individuals with specific epilepsy aetiologies.

Abstract
Genetic factors contribute to the aetiology of epilepsy in >50% of cases, and information on the use of antiseizure medications in people with specific aetiologies will help guide treatment decisions. The PERMIT Extension study pooled data from two real-world studies (PERMIT and PROVE) to investigate the effectiveness and safety/tolerability of perampanel (PER) when used to treat people with focal and generalised epilepsy in everyday clinical practice. This post-hoc analysis of PERMIT Extension explored the use of PER when used to treat individuals presumed to have epilepsy with a genetic aetiology. Assessments included retention rate (evaluated at 3, 6 and 12 months), effectiveness (responder and seizure freedom rates; evaluated at 3, 6, 12 months and the last visit [last observation carried forward) and tolerability (adverse events [AEs]). Of the 6822 people with epilepsy included in PERMIT Extension, 1012 were presumed to have a genetic aetiology. The most common genetic aetiologies were idiopathic generalised epilepsy (IGE; 58.2%), tuberous sclerosis (1.1%), Dravet syndrome (0.8%) and genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+; 0.5%). Retention rates at 3, 6 and 12 months in the total genetic aetiology population were 89.3%, 79.7% and 65.9%, respectively. In the total genetic aetiology population, responder rates at 12 months and the last visit were 74.8% and 68.3%, respectively, and corresponding seizure freedom rates were 48.9% and 46.5%, respectively. For the specific aetiology subgroups, responder rates at 12 months and the last visit were, respectively: 90.4% and 84.4% (IGE), 100% and 57.1% (tuberous sclerosis), 100% and 71.4% (Dravet syndrome), and 33.3% and 20.0% (GEFS+). Corresponding seizure freedom rates were, respectively: 73.1% and 64.6% (IGE), 33.3% and 22.2% (tuberous sclerosis), 20.0% and 28.6% (Dravet syndrome), and 0% and 0% (GEFS+). The incidence of AEs was 46.5% for the total genetic aetiology population, 48.8% for IGE, 27.3% for tuberous sclerosis, 62.5% for Dravet syndrome, and 20% for GEFS+. Tolerability findings were consistent with PER's known safety profile. PER was effective and generally well tolerated when used in individuals with a presumed genetic epilepsy aetiology in clinical practice. PER was effective across a wide range of genetic aetiologies.

Abstract
Anti-seizure drugs (ASDs) are the first choice for the treatment of epilepsy, but there is still one-third of patients with epilepsy (PWEs) who are resistant to two or more appropriately chosen ASDs, named drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), a common type of epilepsy usually associated with hippocampal sclerosis (HS), shares the highest proportion of drug resistance (approximately 70%). In view of the key role of the temporal lobe in memory, emotion, and other physiological functions, patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (DR-TLE) are often accompanied by serious complications, and surgical procedures also yield extra considerations. The exact mechanisms for the genesis of DR-TLE remain unillustrated, which makes it hard to manage patients with DR-TLE in clinical practice. Animal models of DR-TLE play an irreplaceable role in both understanding the mechanism and searching for new therapeutic strategies or drugs. In this review article, we systematically summarized different types of current DR-TLE models, and then recent advances in mechanism investigations obtained in these models were presented, especially with the development of advanced experimental techniques and tools. We are deeply encouraged that novel strategies show great therapeutic potential in those DR-TLE models. Based on the big steps reached from the bench, a new light has been shed on the precise management of DR-TLE.

Abstract
Background Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) patients exhibit aberrant large-scale brain networks. Perampanel may be a therapeutic option for controlling seizures in these patients. Objective We aim to explore the differences of resting-state electroencephalogram (EEG) microstate in perampanel-responsive and non-responsive DRE patients. Design Retrospective study. Methods Clinical data were collected from DRE patients who received perampanel treatment at the Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from June 2020 to September 2021, with a minimum follow-up of 6 months. Patients were classified into three groups based on the extent of reduction in seizure frequency: non-responsive (seizure reduction <50%), responsive (seizure reduction >50% but not seizure-free), and seizure-free. Resting-state EEG data sets of all participants were subjected to EEG microstate analysis. The study comprehensively compared the mean duration, frequency per second, and temporal coverage of each microstate among the three groups. Results A total of 76 perampanel-treated DRE patients were categorized into three groups based on their response to treatment: non-responsive (n = 20), responsive (n = 36), and seizure-free (n = 20), according to the degree of seizure frequency reduction. The results of EEG microstate analysis revealed no statistically significant distinctions in frequency, duration, and coverage of microstate D in these DRE patients. However, the seizure-free group showed significantly increased duration and coverage of microstate A, frequency and coverage of microstate B, and significantly decreased duration, frequency, and coverage of microstate C when compared with the other groups. Conclusion Microstate A, B, and D is associated with the sensorimotor network, visual network, salience network, and attention network, respectively. This study demonstrates statistically significant differences in the sensorimotor, visual, and salience networks, but not in the attention network, between perampanel-responsive and non-responsive DRE patients.

Perampanel increases seizure threshold in pentylenetetrazole-kindled mice and improves behavioral dysfunctions by modifying mRNA expression levels of BDNF/TrkB and inflammatory markers. Saudi Pharm J 2024; 32:101930. [PMID: 38226351 PMCID: PMC10788632 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsps.2023.101930] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Perampanel (PER), a novel 3rd-generation antiseizure drug that modulates altered post-synaptic glutamatergic storming by selectively inhibiting AMPA receptors, is recently approved to treat intractable forms of seizures. However, to date, presumably consequences of long-term PER therapy on the comorbid deleterious psychiatric disturbances and its correlation with neuroinflammatory parameters are not fully investigated in chronic models of epilepsy. Therefore, we investigated the real-time effect of PER on brain electroencephalographic (EEG) activity, behavioral alterations, redox balance, and relative mRNA expression in pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) induced kindling. Male BALB/c mice were pretreated with PER (0.125, 0.25, and 0.5 mg/kg) for 3 weeks and challenged with 11 injections of PTZ at the sub-threshold dose of 40 mg/kg every other day. vEEG from implanted cortical electrodes was monitored to elucidate seizure propagation and behavioral manifestations. Recorded EEG signals exhibited that PER 0.5 mg/kg pretreatment exceptionally impeded the onset of sharp epileptic spike-wave discharges and associated motor symptoms. Additionally, qEEG analysis showed that PER prevented alterations in absolute mean spectral power and reduced RMS amplitude of epileptogenic spikes vs PTZ control. Furthermore, our outcomes illustrated that PER dose-dependently attenuated PTZ-evoked anxiety-like behavior, memory deficits, and depressive-like behavior that was validated by a series of behavioral experiments. Moreover PER, significantly reduced lipid peroxidation, AChE, and increased levels of SOD and total thiol in the mice brain via AMPAR antagonism. Post-PTZ kindling provoked overstimulation of BDNF/TrkB signaling and increased release of pro-inflammatory cytokines that were reversed by PER with suppression of iNOS in brain immune cells. In conclusion, our findings highlight that PER might play an auspicious preventive role in the proepileptic transformation of brain circuits via suppression of BDNF/TrkB signaling and reduced transcriptional levels of neuroinflammatory markers leading to improvised epilepsy-induced neurobehavioral and neurochemical effects.

Efficacy of Perampanel in Refractory and Super-Refractory Status Epilepticus with Suspected Inflammatory Etiology: A Case Series. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 17:28. [PMID: 38256862 PMCID: PMC10819860 DOI: 10.3390/ph17010028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Increasing evidence supports the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective role of perampanel (PER), mediated by decreased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and by interference with apoptosis processes. Therefore, the use of PER to treat status epilepticus (SE) with suspected inflammatory etiology is appealing and deserves further investigation. (2) Methods: We retrospectively analyzed seven patients (five F, two M; median age: 62 years) with refractory and super-refractory SE due to a probable or defined inflammatory etiology and treated with PER. (3) Results: PER was administered as the third (4/7) or fourth drug (3/7), with a median loading dose of 32 mg/day (range: 16-36 mg/day) and a median maintenance dose of 10 mg/day (range: 4-12 mg/day). In five cases, SE was focal, while in two patients, it was generalized. SE was caused by systemic inflammation in three patients, while in the other four subjects, it was recognized to have an autoimmune etiology. SE resolution was observed after PER administration in all cases, particularly within 24 h in the majority of patients (4/7, 57.1%). (4) Conclusions: Our data support the efficacy of PER in treating SE when first- and second-line ASMs have failed and suggest a possible earlier use in SE cases that are due to inflammatory/autoimmune etiology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is characterized by recurrent seizures generated in the limbic system, particularly in the hippocampus. In TLE, recurrent mossy fiber sprouting from dentate gyrus granule cells (DGCs) crea an aberrant epileptogenic network between DGCs which operates via ectopically expressed GluK2/GluK5-containing kainate receptors (KARs). TLE patients are often resistant to anti-seizure medications and suffer significant comorbidities; hence, there is an urgent need for novel therapies. Previously, we have shown that GluK2 knockout mice are protected from seizures. This study aims at providing evidence that downregulating KARs in the hippocampus using gene therapy reduces chronic epileptic discharges in TLE. METHODS We combined molecular biology and electrophysiology in rodent models of TLE and in hippocampal slices surgically resected from patients with drug-resistant TLE. RESULTS Here, we confirmed the translational potential of KAR suppression using a non-selective KAR antagonist that markedly attenuated interictal-like epileptiform discharges (IEDs) in TLE patient-derived hippocampal slices. An adeno-associated virus (AAV) serotype-9 vector expressing anti-grik2 miRNA was engineered to specifically downregulate GluK2 expression. Direct delivery of AAV9-anti grik2 miRNA into the hippocampus of TLE mice led to a marked reduction in seizure activity. Transduction of TLE patient hippocampal slices reduced levels of GluK2 protein and, most importantly, significantly reduced IEDs. INTERPRETATION Our gene silencing strategy to knock down aberrant GluK2 expression demonstrates inhibition of chronic seizure in a mouse TLE model and IEDs in cultured slices derived from TLE patients. These results provide proof-of-concept for a gene therapy approach targeting GluK2 KARs for drug-resistant TLE patients. ANN NEUROL 2023;94:745-761.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Idiopathic epilepsy (IE) is a common, chronic brain dysfunction in dogs. Recently, the effect of feeding a diet enriched with medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) on seizure frequency has been evaluated in several studies in dogs with IE. However, most dogs with IE in previous studies were treated with phenobarbital as the main antiseizure medication (ASM). In Japan, zonisamide (ZNS) is the most prescribed ASM for dogs with IE. The interaction between ZNS and various nutrients including MCTs and the potential effects on treatment efficacy resulting from combining these therapies have not been previously studied. A prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover dietary study was conducted. Dogs (n = 7) treated with ZNS were fed either a placebo diet (PL) or Purina ProPlan Veterinary Diet NeuroCare (NC) for 3 months, after which treatments were crossed over and continued for another 3 months. Seizure frequency (seizures/month; sz/m), blood tests including concentrations of ZNS and β-hydroxybutyric acid, and owner's visual analogue scale score were collected from all dogs for both treatment periods. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the seizure frequency between PL (2.95 ± 0.80 sz/m) and NC (1.90 ± 0.57 sz/m) during the 6 months of trial. Three of 7 dogs showed ≥ 50% seizure reduction, and 1 of those 3 dogs achieved seizure freedom in NC period. However, 2 of 7 dogs had no changes in epileptic seizure frequency, 2 of 7 dogs had a deterioration in seizure frequency in the NC period. Feeding the MCT diet concurrent with ZNS showed no apparent adverse effects and did not affect ZNS concentration. CONCLUSIONS This study indicated that the commercially available MCT-enriched diet (NC) can be safely used concurrently with ZNS for dogs with IE.

Abstract
Introduction Preclinical studies in a mouse model have shown that SYNGAP1 haploinsufficiency results in an epilepsy phenotype with excessive GluA2-AMPA insertion specifically on the soma of fast-spiking parvalbumin-positive interneurons associated with significant dysfunction of cortical gamma homeostasis that was rescued by perampanel (PER), an AMPA receptor blocker. In this single case, we aimed to investigate the presence of dysregulated cortical gamma in a toddler with a pathogenic SYNGAP1 variant and report on the effect of low-dose PER on electroencephalogram (EEG) and clinical profile. Methods Clinical data from physician's clinic notes; genetic testing reports; developmental scores from occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech and language therapy evaluations; and applied behavioral analysis reports were reviewed. Developmental assessments and EEG analysis were done pre- and post-PER. Results Clinically, the patient showed improvements in the developmental profile and sleep quality post-PER. EEG spectral power analysis in our patient revealed a loss of gamma power modulation with behavioral-state transitions similar to what was observed in Syngap1+/- mice. Furthermore, the administration of low-dose PER rescued the dysfunctional cortical gamma homeostasis, similar to the preclinical study. However, as in the epileptic mice, PER did not curb epileptiform discharges or clinical seizures. Conclusion Similar to the Syngap1+/- mice, cortical gamma homeostasis was dysregulated in the patient. This dysfunction was rescued by PER. These encouraging results necessitate further validation of gamma dysregulation as a potential translational EEG biomarker in SYNAP1-DEE. Low-dose PER can be explored as a therapeutic option through clinical trials.

Abstract
Early-life seizures can be refractory to conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) and can also result in chronic epilepsy and long-term behavioral and cognitive deficits. Treatments targeting age-specific mechanisms contributing to epilepsy would be of clinical benefit. One such target is the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR) subtype of excitatory glutamate receptor, which is upregulated in the developing brain. Perampanel is a non-competitive, selective AMPAR antagonist that is FDA-approved for focal onset seizures (FOS) or primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (PGTC) in children and adults. However, the efficacy of perampanel treatment in epilepsy patients younger than 4 years has been less documented. We thus tested the efficacy of perampanel in two early-life seizure models: (1) a rat model of hypoxia-induced neonatal seizures and (2) a mouse model of Dravet syndrome with hyperthermia-induced seizures. Pretreatment with perampanel conferred dose-dependent protection against early-life seizures in both experimental models. These findings suggest that AMPAR-mediated hyperexcitability could be involved in the pathophysiology of early-life seizures, which may be amenable to treatment with perampanel.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To clarify the effect of perampanel (PER) on sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (sALS) progression, the relationship between the changes in Revised Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R) scores and serum PER concentrations was investigated. METHODS 12 patients with sALS from our hospital who agreed to participate and completed the PER for sALS randomized phase 2 study were included. After completing the study, we retrospectively obtained serum PER concentration data from the patients. Based on their mean PER concentrations, we divided the patients who had been taking PER into two groups: four patients with a mean PER concentration of ≥400 ng/mL were assigned to the H group, and three with a mean PER concentration of <400 ng/mL were assigned to the L group. The control group consisted of five patients who had been taking a placebo. We obtained the ALSFRS-R scores of each patient at 36 and 48 weeks after randomization. The differences in ALSFRS-R scores at baseline (0 weeks) and each subsequent week were used in the analysis. RESULTS At 48 weeks, there were no differences in the degree of deterioration of the bulbar, upper and lower limb, and respiratory ALSFRS-R subscores and total ALSFRS-R score. However, at 36 weeks, the bulbar subscore was significantly lower in the H group than in the control group (p=0.032). CONCLUSIONS Because high PER concentrations may exacerbate bulbar symptoms in patients with sALS, serum PER measurements may be beneficial when patients with sALS are taking PER.

Abstract
L-Glutamic acid is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS). Its associated receptors localized on neuronal and non-neuronal cells mediate rapid excitatory synaptic transmission in the CNS and regulate a wide range of processes in the brain, spinal cord, retina, and peripheral nervous system. In particular, the glutamate receptors selective to α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) also play an important role in numerous neurological disorders and attract close attention as targets for the creation of new classes of drugs for the treatment or substantial correction of a number of serious neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. For this reason, the search for various types of AMPA receptor ligands and studies of their properties are attracting considerable attention both in academic institutions and in pharmaceutical companies around the world. This review focuses mainly on the advances in this area published since 2017. Particular attention is paid to the structural diversity of new chemotypes of agonists, competitive AMPA receptor antagonists, positive and negative allosteric modulators, transmembrane AMPA regulatory protein (TARP) dependent allosteric modulators, ion channel blockers as well as their binding sites. This review also presents the studies of the mechanisms of action of AMPA receptor ligands that mediate their therapeutic effects.

Abstract
Positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of AMPA receptors represent attractive candidates for the development of drugs for the treatment of cognitive and neurodegenerative disorders. Dimeric molecules have been reported to have an especially potent modulating effect, due to the U-shaped form of the AMPA receptor's allosteric binding site. In the present work, novel bis(pyrimidines) were studied as AMPA receptor modulators. A convenient and flexible preparative approach to bis(pyrimidines) containing a hydroquinone linker was elaborated, and a series of derivatives with varied substituents was obtained. The compounds were examined in the patch clamp experiments for their influence on the kainate-induced currents, and 10 of them were found to have potentiating properties. The best potency was found for 2-methyl-4-(4-((2-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazolin-4-yl)oxy)phenoxy)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-cyclohepta[d]pyrimidine, which potentiated the kainate-induced currents by up to 77% in all tested concentrations (10-12-10-6 M). The results were rationalized via the modeling of modulator complexes with the dimeric ligand binding domain of the GluA2 AMPA receptor, using molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation. The prediction of ADMET, physicochemical, and PAINS properties of the studied bis(pyrimidines) confirmed that PAMs of this type may act as the potential lead compounds for the development of neuroprotective drugs.

Abstract
Epilepsy is a common neurological disease. At present, there are about 70 million epilepsy patients in the world, half of them are women, and 30–40% of women with epilepsy are of childbearing potential. Patients with epilepsy who are of childbearing potential face more challenges, such as seizures caused by hormonal fluctuations and the risk of adverse effects on the mother and baby from taking anti-seizure medications (ASMs). Breast milk is one of the best gifts that a mother can give her baby, and breastfeeding can bring more benefits to the baby. Compared with healthy people, people with epilepsy have more concerns about breastfeeding because they are worried that ASMs in their milk will affect the growth and development of the baby, and they are always faced with the dilemma of whether to breastfeed after childbirth. Regarding, whether women with epilepsy can breastfeed while taking ASMs, and whether breastfeeding will adversely affect the baby is still an important topic of concern for patients and doctors. This article reviews the existing research on breastfeeding-related issues in women with epilepsy to guide clinical practice, and improve the breastfeeding compliance of women with epilepsy.

Abstract
Nanogels have come out as a great potential drug delivery platform due to its prominently high colloidal stability, high drug loading, core-shell structure, good permeation property and can be responsive to environmental stimuli. Such nanoscopic drug carriers have more excellent abilities over conventional nanomaterials for permeating to brain parenchyma in vitro and in vivo. Nanogel-based system can be nanoengineered to bypass physiological barriers via non-invasive treatment, rendering it a most suitable platform for the management of neurological conditions such as neurodegenerative disorders, brain tumors, epilepsy and ischemic stroke, etc. Therapeutics of central nervous system (CNS) diseases have shown marked limited site-specific delivery of CNS by the poor access of various drugs into the brain, due to the presences of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB). Hence, the availability of therapeutics delivery strategies is considered as one of the most major challenges facing the treatment of CNS diseases. The primary objective of this review is to elaborate the newer advances of nanogel for CNS drugs delivery, discuss the early preclinical success in the field of nanogel technology and highlight different insights on its potential neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Objective The last decade has seen an increase in the use of anti‐seizure medications (ASMs); however, the burden of treating drug‐resistant epilepsy has not fallen. We performed this meta‐analysis to evaluate the optimal dose of Perampanel (PER) as a new adjunctive treatment for drug‐resistant seizures. Methods We searched for studies published from inception to February 1, 2021 from PubMed, Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and ScienceDirect. Research characteristics, patients' characteristics, and treatment regimen, concomitant ASMs, clinical outcomes were extracted. The practical outcome included a reduction in seizures frequency ≥50%, ≥75%, and ≥100% from baseline convulsive seizure frequency, and the safety outcome included the proportion of drug withdrawal and adverse reactions. Odds ratios (OR) for 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were estimated by the inverse variance method. Results Four trials which enrolled 2187 participants (1569 in the PER group and 618 in the placebo group) were included. Results showed that 8 or 12 mg per day had the best effect on all three outcomes, with no significant difference between 8 and 12 mg per day (≥50% reduction, 35.5% vs 36.1%, P = .84; ≥75% reduction, 17.8% vs 19.1%, P = .64; seizure‐free, 3.5% vs 3.7%, P = .85). In addition, 12‐mg PER compared to 8 mg had a higher proportion of trial withdrawal (8.7% vs 17.0%; P < .00001) and treatment‐emergent adverse event (TEAE) resulting in dose reduction/discontinuation (18.5% vs 32.0%; P < .00001). The adverse events (AEs) significantly associated with adjunctive PER were dizziness, somnolence, fatigue, and irritability. Significance Adjunctive treatment of PER was associated with a more significant reduction in the frequency of seizures in patients with refractory epilepsy than placebo, but with a higher frequency of AEs. PER at a daily dose of 8 mg appears to have the best ratio between efficacy and tolerance in most study participants.

Abstract
Many physiologic effects of l-glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system, are mediated via signaling by ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs). These ligand-gated ion channels are critical to brain function and are centrally implicated in numerous psychiatric and neurologic disorders. There are different classes of iGluRs with a variety of receptor subtypes in each class that play distinct roles in neuronal functions. The diversity in iGluR subtypes, with their unique functional properties and physiologic roles, has motivated a large number of studies. Our understanding of receptor subtypes has advanced considerably since the first iGluR subunit gene was cloned in 1989, and the research focus has expanded to encompass facets of biology that have been recently discovered and to exploit experimental paradigms made possible by technological advances. Here, we review insights from more than 3 decades of iGluR studies with an emphasis on the progress that has occurred in the past decade. We cover structure, function, pharmacology, roles in neurophysiology, and therapeutic implications for all classes of receptors assembled from the subunits encoded by the 18 ionotropic glutamate receptor genes. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Glutamate receptors play important roles in virtually all aspects of brain function and are either involved in mediating some clinical features of neurological disease or represent a therapeutic target for treatment. Therefore, understanding the structure, function, and pharmacology of this class of receptors will advance our understanding of many aspects of brain function at molecular, cellular, and system levels and provide new opportunities to treat patients.

Abstract
Introduction: Phenytoin was the first antiepileptic drug (AED) discovered in an animal model of seizures whose clinical efficacy was subsequently confirmed. This clearly indicated that a search for other AEDs had to consider animal studies.Areas covered: Main seizure tests used for the evaluation of possible anticonvulsive activity of potential anticonvulsants and their predictive values have been reviewed. Procedures used for the estimation of antiepileptogenic effects have been also included.Expert opinion: First-line seizure models comprise maximal electroshock (MES)-, pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)- and kindling-induced convulsions in rodents. The MES test may be considered as a convenient and easy model of generalized tonic-clonic seizures, PTZ test - as a model of generalized myoclonic seizures and to a certain degree - absence seizures. Kindled seizures (for example, from amygdala) may be regarded as a model of focal seizures. Some tests have been suggested for the search of AEDs effective in drug-resistant seizures - for instance, 6 Hz (44 mA) test or intrahippocampal kainate model of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. There are also recommendations from experimental epileptology on synergistic AED combinations for patients with drug-resistant seizures. The clinical evidence on this issue is scarce and favors a combined treatment with valproate + lamotrigine.

Abstract
Perampanel is a new antiepileptic drug with unique mechanism of action - antagonism of AMPA receptors. Its action in immature animals is not yet sufficiently known therefore we started to study anticonvulsant action of perampanel pretreatment (1-20 mg/kg i.p.) against seizures elicited by pentylenetetrazol. Three age groups of rats were examined - 12, 18 and 25 days old. Perampanel selectively suppressed the tonic phase of generalized seizures in the two younger groups and whole tonic-clonic seizures in the 25-day-old group. It exhibited also an anticonvulsant action against minimal clonic seizures present in control 18- and 25-day-old rats. Perampanel is an effective anticonvulsant drug even at very early stages of brain development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The antiseizure drugs commonly used as first- and second-line treatments for neonatal seizures display poor efficacy. Thus, drug mechanisms of action that differ from these typical agents might provide better seizure control. Perampanel, an AMPA-receptor antagonist, and brivaracetam, a SV2A ligand, might fill that role. METHODS We utilized methyl-6,7-dimethoxy-4-ethyl-beta-carboline-3-carboxylate (DMCM) to evoke seizures in rats to assess the efficacy of perampanel and brivaracetam treatment in clinically relevant doses. RESULTS In postnatal day (P)10 rats, neither perampanel nor brivaracetam suppressed seizure activity. By contrast, in P21 rats, both drugs decreased the severity of seizures. This effect was evident at the 20 and 40 mg/kg doses of brivaracetam and at the 0.9 and 2.7 mg/kg doses of perampanel. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that while the efficacy of these drugs may be limited for neonatal seizures, their efficacy increases over early postnatal development.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study is to investigate the anxiolytic activity of perampanel, a non-competitive antagonist of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA)-type glutamate receptors, which is approved for partial-onset seizures in patients with epilepsy, and its mechanism of action. MAIN METHODS The anxiolytic activity of perampanel at the doses of 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 mg/kg intraperitoneally (i.p.) was investigated in mice using elevated plus-maze, hole-board, and open-field tests. The findings were compared to the anxiolytic activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid type A benzodiazepine (GABAA/BZ) receptor allosteric modulator diazepam (1 mg/kg, i.p.) and AMPA antagonist GYKI-53655 (5 mg/kg, i.p.). The mechanisms of action of perampanel were evaluated by pre-treatment with GABAA/BZ receptor antagonist flumazenil (3 mg/kg, i.p.), serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine 1A (5-HT1A) antagonist WAY-100635 (1 mg/kg, i.p.), and α2-adrenoreceptor antagonist yohimbine (5 mg/kg, i.p.). KEY FINDINGS In the elevated plus-maze and open-field tests, perampanel at the dose of 0.5 mg/kg, and in the hole-board test, at the doses of 0.25, 0.5, and 1 mg/kg demonstrated an anxiolytic effect without altering the locomotor activity. The effect of perampanel was comparable to the effect of diazepam. Stimulation of GABAA/BZ and α2-adrenergic receptors contributed to the anxiolytic effect of perampanel, since significant antagonisms were determined in various behavioral parameters by the antagonist pre-treatments. SIGNIFICANCE AMPA antagonism is believed to provide the determined anxiolytic activity of perampanel. Increased GABAergic tonus induced by AMPA receptor antagonism along with other systems, especially the noradrenergic system, might be involved in the anxiolytic activity.

Abstract
The α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors (AMPARs) constitute a subclass of the ionotropic glutamate receptor superfamily, which functions as glutamate-gated cation channels to mediate the majority of excitatory neurotransmission in the central nervous system. AMPARs are therapeutic targets in a range of brain disorders associated with abnormal glutamate hyperactivity. Multiple classes of AMPAR inhibitors have been developed during the past decades, including competitive antagonists, ion channel blockers, and negative allosteric modulators (NAMs). At present, the NAM is the only class of AMPAR ligands that have been developed into safe and useful drugs in humans in the form of perampanel (Fycompa), which was recently approved for treatment of epilepsy. Compared with the detailed understanding of other AMPAR ligand classes, surprisingly little information has been available regarding the molecular mechanism of perampanel and other classes of NAMs at AMPARs; including the location and structure of NAM binding pockets in the receptor complex. However, structures of the AMPAR GluA2 in complex with NAMs were recently reported that unambiguously identified the NAM binding sites. In parallel with this work, our aim with the present study was to identify specific residues involved in the formation of the NAM binding site for three prototypical AMPAR NAMs. Hence, we have performed a mutational analysis of the AMPAR region that links the four extracellular ligand-binding domains to the central ion channel in the transmembrane domain region. Furthermore, we perform computational ligand docking of the NAMs into structural models of the homomeric GluA2 receptor and optimize side chain conformations around the NAMs to model how NAMs bind in this specific site. The new insights provide potentially valuable input for structure-based drug design of new NAMs. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors are glutamate-gated ion channels that mediate the majority of excitatory neurotransmission in the brain. Negative allosteric modulators of AMPA receptors are considered to have significant therapeutic potential in diseases linked to glutamate hyperactivity. The present work employs mutational analysis and molecular modeling of the binding site for prototypical NAMs to provide new molecular insight into how NAMs interact with the AMPA receptor, which is of potential use for future design of new types of NAMs.

Abstract
In our search for novel orally active α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor antagonists, we found that conversion of an allyl group in the lead compound 2-[allyl(4-methylphenyl)amino]-4H-pyrido[3,2-e][1,3]thiazin-4-one (4) to a 2-cyanoethyl group significantly increased inhibitory activity against AMPA receptor-mediated kainate-induced toxicity in rat hippocampal cultures. Here, we synthesized 10 analogs bearing a 2-cyanoethyl group and administered them to mice to evaluate their anticonvulsant activity in maximal electroshock (MES)- and pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced seizure tests, and their effects on motor coordination in a rotarod test. 3-{(4-Oxo-4H-pyrido[3,2-e][1,3]thiazin-2-yl)[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]amino}propanenitrile (25) and 3-[(2,2-difluoro-2H-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)(4-oxo-4H-pyrido[3,2-e][1,3]thiazin-2-yl)amino]propanenitrile (27) exhibited potent anticonvulsant activity in both seizure tests and induced minor motor disturbances as indicated in the rotarod test. The protective index values of 25 and 27 for MES-induced seizures (10.7 and 12.0, respectively) and PTZ-induced seizures (6.0 and 5.6, respectively) were considerably higher compared with those of YM928 (5) and talampanel (1).

Abstract
Epilepsy is marked by seizures that are a manifestation of excessive brain activity and is symptomatically treatable by anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs). Unfortunately, the older AEDs have many side effects, with cognitive impairment being a major side effect that affects the daily lives of people with epilepsy. Thus, this study aimed to determine if newer AEDs (Zonisamide, Levetiracetam, Perampanel, Lamotrigine and Valproic Acid) also cause cognitive impairment, using a zebrafish model. Acute seizures were induced in zebrafish using pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) and cognitive function was assessed using the T-maze test of learning and memory. Neurotransmitter and gene expression levels related to epilepsy as well as learning and memory were also studied to provide a better understanding of the underlying processes. Ultimately, impaired cognitive function was seen in AED treated zebrafish, regardless of whether seizures were induced. A highly significant decrease in γ-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) and glutamate levels was also discovered, although acetylcholine levels were more variable. The gene expression levels of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (CAMP) Responsive Element Binding Protein 1 (CREB-1) were not found to be significantly different in AED treated zebrafish. Based on the experimental results, a decrease in brain glutamate levels due to AED treatment appears to be at least one of the major factors behind the observed cognitive impairment in the treated zebrafish.

Abstract
It is important in drug discovery to demonstrate that activity of novel drugs found by screening on recombinant receptors translates to activity on native human receptors in brain areas affected by disease. In this review, we summarise the development and use of the microtransplantation technique. Native receptors are reconstituted from human brain tissues into oocytes from the frog Xenopus laevis where they can be functionally assessed. Oocytes microtransplanted with hippocampal tissue from an epileptic patient were used to demonstrate that new antiepileptic agents act on receptors in diseased tissue. Furthermore, frozen post-mortem human tissues were used to show that drugs are active on receptors in brain areas associated with a disease; but not in areas associated with side effects.

Abstract
In order to map out molecular determinants for the competitive blockade of AMPA receptor subtypes, a series of racemic aryl-substituted phenylalanines was synthesized and pharmacologically characterized in vitro at native rat ionotropic glutamate receptors. Most of the compounds showed micromolar affinity and preference for AMPA receptors. Individual stereoisomers of selected compounds were further evaluated at recombinant homomeric rat GluA2 and GluA3 receptors. The most potent compound, (-)-2-amino-3-(6-chloro-2',5'-dihydroxy-5-nitro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)propanoic acid, the expected R-isomer showing Ki of 1.71 μM at the GluA2 subtype, was found to competitively antagonize GluA2(Q)i receptors in TEVC electrophysiological experiments (Kb = 2.13 μM). Molecular docking experiments allowed us to compare two alternative antagonist binding modes for the synthesized phenylalanines at the GluA2 binding core, showing the direction for further structural modifications.

Abstract
We administered perampanel (PER) to a bedridden 13-year-old male patient with dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA). The DRPLA diagnosis was based on the presence of a CAG trinucleotide repeat in the ATN1 gene. The patient experienced continuous myoclonic seizures and weekly generalized tonic–clonic seizures (GTCs). PER stopped the patient's myoclonic seizures and reduced the GTCs to fragmented clonic seizures. The patient recovered his intellectual abilities and began to walk again with assistance. We suggest that PER be considered as one of the key drugs used to treat patients with DRPLA.

Abstract
Inhibition of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) is a potential target of therapy for ischemic stroke. Perampanel is a potent noncompetitive α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate receptor (AMPAR) antagonist with good oral bioavailability and favorable pharmacokinetic properties. Here, we investigated the potential protective effects of perampanel against focal cerebral ischemia in a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model in rats. Oral administration with perampanel significantly reduced MCAO-induced brain edema, brain infarct volume, and neuronal apoptosis. These protective effects were associated with improved functional outcomes, as measured by foot-fault test, adhesive removal test, and modified neurological severity score (mNSS) test. Importantly, perampanel was effective even when the administration was delayed to 1 h after reperfusion. The results of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) showed that perampanel significantly decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α, whereas it increased the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TGF-β1 after MCAO. In addition, perampanel treatment markedly decreased the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), and also inhibited nitric oxide (NO) generation in MCAO-injured rats at 24 and 72 h after reperfusion. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the orally active AMPAR antagonist perampanel protects against experimental ischemic stroke via regulating inflammatory cytokines and NOS pathways.

Abstract
A primary pathogeny of epilepsy is excessive activation of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate receptors (AMPARs). To find potential molecules to inhibit AMPARs, high-throughput screening was performed in a library of tetrapeptides in silico. Computational results suggest that some tetrapeptides bind stably to the AMPAR. We aligned these sequences of tetrapeptide candidates with those from in vitro digestion of the trout skin protein. Among salmon-derived products, Glu-Gly-Ala-Arg (EGAR) showed a high biological affinity toward AMPAR when tested in silico. Accordingly, natural EGAR was hypothesized to have anticonvulsant activity, and in vitro experiments showed that EGAR selectively inhibited AMPAR-mediated synaptic transmission without affecting the electrophysiological properties of hippocampal pyramidal neurons. In addition, EGAR reduced neuronal spiking in an in vitro seizure model. Moreover, the ability of EGAR to reduce seizures was evaluated in a rodent epilepsy model. Briefer and less severe seizures versus controls were shown after mice were treated with EGAR. In conclusion, the promising experimental results suggest that EGAR inhibitor against AMPARs may be a target for antiepilepsy pharmaceuticals. Epilepsy is a common brain disorder characterized by the occurrence of recurring, unprovoked seizures. Twenty to 30 % of persons with epilepsy do not achieve adequate seizure control with any drug. Here we provide a possibility in which a natural and edible tetrapeptide, EGAR, can act as an antiepileptic agent. We have combined computation with in vitro experiments to show how EGAR modulates epilepsy. We also used an animal model of epilepsy to prove that EGAR can inhibit seizures in vivo. This study suggests EGAR as a potential pharmaceutical for the treatment of epilepsy.

Abstract
Both TDP-43 pathology and failure of RNA editing of AMPA receptor subunit GluA2, are etiology-linked molecular abnormalities that concomitantly occur in the motor neurons of the majority of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). AR2 mice, in which an RNA editing enzyme adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 2 (ADAR2) is conditionally knocked out in the motor neurons, exhibit a progressive ALS phenotype with TDP-43 pathology in the motor neurons through a Ca2+-permeable AMPA receptor-mediated mechanism. Therefore, amelioration of the increased Ca2+ influx by AMPA receptor antagonists may be a potential ALS therapy. Here, we showed that orally administered perampanel, a selective, non-competitive AMPA receptor antagonist significantly prevented the progression of the ALS phenotype and normalized the TDP-43 pathology-associated death of motor neurons in the AR2 mice. Given that perampanel is an approved anti-epileptic drug, perampanel is a potential candidate ALS drug worthy of a clinical trial.

Abstract
Perampanel (Fycompa®), an orally-active, selective, noncompetitive α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor antagonist, is a first-in-class antiepileptic drug (AED) offering the convenience of once-daily administration. In the EU and US, perampanel is approved in patients with epilepsy aged ≥12 years for the adjunctive treatment of primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) and partial-onset seizures (POS; with or without secondary generalization). In phase III trials of 17 or 19 weeks' duration, add-on perampanel ≤12 mg/day significantly improved seizure control in patients aged ≥12 years who were experiencing either primary GTCS or POS (with or without secondary generalization), despite ongoing treatment with stable dosages of one to three AEDs. Improvements in seizure control were maintained for up to 2 years in extensions of these core studies. Perampanel also provided sustained seizure control for up to ≈4 years in an extension of two phase II studies in patients aged ≥18 years with drug-resistant POS. Adjunctive perampanel therapy was generally well tolerated. Treatment-emergent adverse events were most commonly CNS-related (e.g. dizziness, somnolence, fatigue and irritability) and dose-related; however, most were of mild to moderate intensity. Clinical experience with perampanel is accumulating, although comparative studies and pharmacoeconomic data that could assist in positioning it relative to other AEDS that are approved and/or recommended as adjunctive therapy are lacking. Nonetheless, on the basis of its overall clinical profile and unique mechanism of action, perampanel is a useful additional adjunctive treatment option for patients with drug-resistant POS, with or without secondary generalization, and primary GTCS.

Abstract
Perampanel (PER) is the first-in-class selective, noncompetitive α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor antagonist that has been licensed and marketed as antiepileptic drug (AED) indicated for patients with partial-onset and primary generalized tonic–clonic seizures. A positive effect was reported in some patients with epileptic myoclonic jerks in idiopathic generalized epilepsy and in progressive myoclonic epilepsy. We treated a male patient with posthypoxic nonepileptic myoclonus (Lance–Adams syndrome) with add-on PER and achieved an almost complete cessation of jerks. This effect was reproducible and, therefore, we suggest that it might be worth trying PER in comparable cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Anticonvulsive monotherapy fails to be effective in one third of patients with epilepsy resulting in the need for polytherapy regimens. However, with the still limited knowledge, drug choices for polytherapy remain empirical. Here we report experimental data from a chronic epilepsy model for the combination of perampanel and zonisamide, which can render guidance for clinical studies and individual drug choices. METHODS The anticonvulsant effects of the combination of perampanel and zonisamide were evaluated in a rat amygdala kindling model. Furthermore, the potential for motor impairment was evaluated. The type of interaction was quantitatively assessed based on isobolographic analysis. RESULTS When administered alone, zonisamide dose-dependently increased the afterdischarge threshold in fully kindled rats. Moreover, data confirmed efficacy of perampanel to inhibit seizure initiation and progression with an impact on propagation of activity from the focus. Pronounced threshold increases were observed following administration of a constant zonisamide dosage combined with different doses of perampanel. Isobolographic analysis of drug responses, which is based on individual drug dose-effect data, revealed a synergistic interaction substantiating the high efficacy of the combination. Furthermore, rotarod data indicated that the combination has a favorable tolerability profile when zonisamide is coadministered with low doses of perampanel. Plasma concentration analysis argued against a pharmacokinetic interaction as a basis for the synergism. SIGNIFICANCE The findings clearly indicate a pronounced synergistic anticonvulsant effect for the combination of the noncompetitive α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor antagonist perampanel with zonisamide, which modulates voltage-sensitive sodium channels and T-type calcium currents. Consequently, polytherapy using these two antiepileptic drugs might be efficacious for clinical management of partial-onset seizures. The findings indicate that the impact of dose ratios on tolerability needs be taken into account. With regard to conclusions about the extent of the synergism and its implications further antiepileptic drug combinations need to be evaluated allowing direct comparison.

Abstract
Current possibilities of treatment of generalized convulsive seizures are presented. Progress in the field of pharmacotherapy of epilepsy allowed to introduce new antiepileptic drugs (AED). Some of them are modified AED with higher efficacy or better tolerability and others represent a generation of new drugs with different mechanisms of action. Perampanel, an agonist of AMPA-receptors, is a new drug approved in more than 40 countries, including Russia. At present, the use of some AED is limited by the high risk of sudden death (sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP)). SUDEP is a common cause of death directly associated with epilepsy, with the highest frequency in patients with active epilepsy. Subtherapeutic concentrations of SED in the serum of SUDEP patients may be the consequence of inadequate treatment and low compliance to treatment that causes the development of pseudoresistant seizures and, hence, the higher risk of SUDEP. At the same time, AED per se play an important role in the modification of functions of the autonomic nervous system and may induce disturbances of heart rate and conductivity.
