  • Title: [Pharmacological analysis of the anticonvulsant action of kavinton].
    Author: Dutov AA, Karpov VN, Tolpyshev BA, Gladun VN.
    Journal: Farmakol Toksikol; 1987; 50(1):17-20. PubMed ID: 3556545.
    Abstract:
    In experiments on rats it was found that cavinton administered in doses of 1-30 mg/kg exerted a distinct dose-dependent anticonvulsant effect, according to the test of maximal electroshock, not less than that of phenobarbital, difenin and carbamazepine. Combined use of cavinton and these drugs potentiated its anticonvulsant action. The involvement of noradrenergic systems, in particular, alpha 1-adrenoceptors, in the anticonvulsant effect of cavinton is suggested.
