Abstract
The anticonvulsant properties and toxicity of phensuximide (Milontin), methsuximide (Celontin) and ethosuximide (Zarontin) have been investigated in laboratory animals. The three compounds were very effective in suppressing the initial clonic seizures induced by Metrazol in rats and mice. Whereas methsuximide and phensuximide were capable of protecting mice from tonic extensor seizures to supramaximal electroshock at non‐neurotoxic and slightly ataxic doses respectively, ethosuximide could do so only at anesthetic dose levels. The anticonvulsant spectrum of methsuximide was shown to be similar to that of phenacemide; ethosuximide, on the other hand, resembles trimethadione very closely in anticonvulsant action. A discussion was given to correlate the anticonvulsant properties of these drugs as examined in mice and their therapeutic indications for the management of petit mal, grand mal and psychomotor epilepsy.
