Özet
The relationship between epilepsy and inflammation is known, and it has been reported that there is an increase in cyclooxygenase (COX) levels in epilepsy. We aim to reveal the anticonvulsant effects of dexketoprofen in pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced seizures in rats. Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats, 24 of them for EEG recording and 24 of them are for behavioral studies, were randomly divided in two groups: Group A for EEG recordings and Group B for behavioral assessment. A weight of 70 mg/kg PTZ was used for behavioral studies after dexketoprofen administration. Thirty-five milligrams per kilogram PTZ were used for EEG recording after dexketoprofen administration. The electrodes were implanted on dura over the left frontal cortex and the reference electrode was implanted over the cerebellum for EEG recording. The Racine convulsion scale (RCS), first myoclonic jerk (FMJ) onset time, and spike percentages were evaluated between the two groups. There was a significant (P< 0·05) difference between the RCS, FMJ onset time (P< 0·001), and spike percentage (P< 0·05) between the groups (Group 2 compared with Groups 3 and 4). Dexketoprofen has an antiepileptic feature and this effect increases as the dosage increases, however it is currently unknown through which mechanism this drug shows its anticonvulsant effect. Dexketoprofen, in the group of NSAIDs, shows an anticonvulsant effect on PTZ-induced epilepsy model. This study suggests that dexketoprofen can preferably be used with NSAIDs for epileptic patients in clinical practice.
