Role of Pharmacological Factors in the Evaluation of Anticonvulsant Drugs

Abstract: SUMMARY The results presented in this paper clearly delineate the role of various pharmacological factors in the evaluation of anticonvulsant drugs. The absorption, distribution, biotransformation, and excretion of drugs determine the concentration that reaches the receptor and the duration of effect. Thus changes in any one of these parameters can modify greatly the quantitative evaluation of drugs. However, determination of these parameters can also increase our understanding of the mechanisms by which antic… Show more

“…In the human only about 1-5% of phenytoin is excreted in nonmetabolized form (62,79,100). Both phenytoin elimination (45) and metabolism (46) appear to be dependent upon the ratelimiting step involving P-450-mediated monooxygenation (as is true of so many drugs).…”

“…Another metabolite present in man is 5-m-hydroxyphenyl-5-phenylhydantoin [14]. The experi mental animal has 2 metabolites, one with both phenyl rings hydroxylated in the para positions, the other with the meta and para positions of 1 ring hydroxylated to form a catechol [15].…”
