    Preclinical, Journal:  Evaluation of the impact of compound C11 a new anticonvulsant candidate on cognitive functions and hippocampal neurogenesis in mouse brain. (Pubmed Central) -  Jan 6, 2021   
    C11 revealed high efficacy in acute animal seizure models such as the maximal electroshock model (MES), the pentylenetetrazole model (PTZ) and the 6 Hz (6 Hz, 32 mA) seizure model, as well as in the kindling model of epilepsy induced by repeated injection of PTZ in mice...The following drugs were used: C11, levetiracetam (LEV), ethosuximide (ETS) and lacosamide (LCM)...A new hybrid compound C11 in contrast to LCM has no negative impact on the process of neurogenesis and neurodegeneration in the mouse hippocampus. Furthermore, chronic treatment with C11 turned out to have no negative impact on cognitive functions of treated mice, which, is certainly of great importance for further more advanced preclinical and especially clinical trials.

    Clinical, PK/PD data, Review, Journal:  Pharmacodynamic interactions of antiepileptic drugs: From bench to clinical practice. (Pubmed Central) -  Dec 18, 2020   
    The pharmacodynamic lamotrigine-valproate interaction is also supported by synergistic adverse events. Therefore, well-designed double-blind prospective studies recruiting a sufficient number of patients possibly with a crossover design and carefully ascertain the role of pharmacokinetic interactions and variations of AEDs' levels in the blood are needed.

    Clinical, Journal:  The effect of lacosamide on psychiatric comorbidities in patients with epilepsy. (Pubmed Central) -  Dec 17, 2020   
    LCM polytherapy may have less negative influence on psychiatric comorbidities in patients with epilepsy compared with other antiseizure medications, and may also improve seizure severity. While LCM polytherapy might improve psychiatric symptoms as seizures improve, a small number of patients experienced worsening of psychiatric symptoms despite seizure improvement.

    Journal:  Lacosamide intake during pregnancy increases the incidence of foetal malformations and symptoms associated with schizophrenia in the offspring of mice. (Pubmed Central) -  Dec 2, 2020   
    Neonatal mice born to dams treated with LCM during gestation displayed clear psychomotor delay and behavioural and morphological alterations in the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and amygdala that were associated with behaviours associated with schizophrenia spectrum disorders in adulthood. We conclude that LCM and its metabolites may have teratogenic effects on the developing embryos, reflected in embryonic lethality and malformations, as well as behavioural and histological alterations in adult mice that resemble those presented by patients with schizophrenia.

    Journal:  Initiating antiepilepsy treatment: An update of expert consensus in Spain. (Pubmed Central) -  Nov 28, 2020   
    With respect to the choice of initial monotherapy depending on the type of epilepsy and the patient's age/sex profile, it is agreed to avoid valproic acid (VPA) in women with childbearing potential, with levetiracetam (LEV) and lamotrigine (LTG) being the preferable options in generalized epilepsy...In the elderly, LEV, lacosamide (LCM), eslicarbazepine acetate (ESL) and LTG are considered the most suitable drugs for initiating treatment...In conclusion, as the ILAE definition states, there are different situations that lead to treatment initiation after a first seizure. When choosing the first ASM, the type of epilepsy, childbearing potential and drug-drug interaction are key factors.

    Journal:  GS-967 and Eleclazine BlockSodium Channels in Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-derived Cardiomyocytes. (Pubmed Central) -  Nov 12, 2020   
    Sodium channel inhibition by GS-967 and eleclazine has unique features including accelerating the onset of slow inactivation and impairing recovery from inactivation. These effects combined with rapid binding and moderate unbinding kinetics explain potent use-dependent block, which we propose contributes to their observed antiarrhythmic efficacy.
