Gene context of Keppra

  • It is thus concluded that levetiracetam is unlikely to produce pharmacokinetic interactions through inhibition of CYPs, UGTs, and epoxide hydrolase [29].
  • In order to better understand the potential role of NPY in epileptogenesis, the present studies investigated the development of amygdala kindling, post-kindling seizure thresholds, and anticonvulsant effects of carbamazepine and levetiracetam in 129S6/SvEv NPY(+/+) and NPY(-/-) mice [30].
  • Levetiracetam prevents changes in levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and neuropeptide Y mRNA and of Y1- and Y5-like receptors in the hippocampus of rats undergoing amygdala kindling: implications for antiepileptogenic and mood-stabilizing properties [31].
  • OBJECTIVE: To determine if levetiracetam, a second-generation antiepileptic drug, may be useful for the treatment of spasticity in MS [32].
  • RESULTS: In children, the half-lives of levetiracetam and its metabolite ucb L057 were 6.0 +/- 1.1 and 8.1 +/-2.7 hours, respectively [33].
