Describe SAR of phenytoin? what type of ring is present?
2 phenyl rings at 5’ of hydantoin = most anticonvulsant activity

what’s the difference between fosphenytoin and phenytoin?
fosphenytoin is a prodrug, has phosphate ester group on one Nitrogen→converts to phenytoin in liver
fosphenytoin can be IM or IV , phenytoin is IV

which anticonvulsant is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity of TCAs?
carbazepine, can metabolize into epoxide and iminoquinone forms (chemically reactive metabolites)

how is eslicarbazepine (ESL) different than carbezepine? (what makes it a prodrug, what makes it less potent)
ESL has acetate ester → it’s hydrolyzed to have an OH group on 10’ to be licarbezepine
hydroxyl minimized auto-induction
does not metabolized into iminoquinolone or epoxide

what are molecular targets for cenobamate
inactivatted sodiuum channels, GABAA receptors
key features of cenobamate
tetrazole, carbamate

key features of lamictal
trizene, binds to inactivated sodium channels

what anti-seizure drugs contain unsaturated 5 - 6 rings?
rufinamide, lamotrigine, cenobamate
features and targets for zonimsamide
sulfonamide, benzisoxazole
blocks sodium channels and t-type calcium channels

features and targets for topiramate
derived from D-fructose, sulfamate
blocks sodium channels and L type calcium channels

lacosamide is a functionalized amino acid that binds to _______
slow inactivated sodium channels
gabapentin is based on the neurotransmitter ____ but does not directly affect it. Instead it binds to _____
GABA, voltage gated calcium channels
what effects does valproic acid have?
inhibits sodium channels, T-type calcium channels, and GABA aminotransferase
decreases glutminergic transmission
activates glutamic acid decarboxylase
enhances GABA transmission
vigabatrin in similar to ____ with an additional ___ group. It acts as a substrate for _______
GABA, Vinyl group (CH=CH2)
irrevirsiby inhibiting gaba transaminase (SUICIDE INHIBITOR)
functional groups of tiagabine
piperdine, carboxylic acid, thiophene, 3* amine

target for leveti/brivareacetam
synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2a (SV2A)

SAR points for SV2A ligands (-racetam)
s configuration
pyrrolidine
hydrophobic substitution only on C4

_____ antagonizes the NMDA receptor by binding to the ____ recognition site
felbamate, glycine
_____ is a noncompetitive AMPA glutamate receptor _____, containing 2 pyridine rings linked together

what drug is a 1,5-benzodiazepine
Clobazam

_____ has intrinsic activity and tranforms into 2 primary active metabolites: phenylethylmalonamide and _____
primidone, phenobarbital
what cannabidiol is used for seizures?
epidiolex
structural features and MOA of stiripentol
aromatic allylic alcohol, benzodiaxole, r>s
enhances GABA receptors and inhbits lactate dehydrogenase involved in energy metabolism of neurons

ethosuximide targets ____ channels
t-type calcium channels
what calcium channels are involved in absence seizures?
T-type
what anti-seizure drugs directly block t-type calcium channels?
lamotrigine, zonisamide
what is the best medicine for atonic seizures?
ethosuximide, valproic acid, lamotrigine, clobazam
what is alprazolam?
benzodiazepine, for anti-anxiety and panic disorders

what are the 3-hydroxy BZDs?
lorazepam, oxazepam, temazepam
decreased t1/2

what are the common features in BZD?
r7 - required for hypnotic activity
r2 - acceptor (O, N, S) required
left pheny group - no substitutions

what is a partial agonist BZD?
unable to produce maximum effect
____ is unique among the long acting BZD b/c it also targets alpha-1
halazepam, quazepam (contains triflouryl)

what are triazolobenzodiazepines?
contains triazole
alprazolam, triazolam, estazolam
increases the stability of the drug

what BZD is a fused imidazole-BZD?
midazolam
what are 3-hydroxy-BZD?
lorazepam, oxazepam, temazepam
metabolized thru glucoronide conjugation = shorter DOA
what BZD has N-oxide in 4 position?
chlordiazepoxide

describe pharmacaphore and subtype selectivity of the Z drugs
zaleplon - a1>a2, pyramidine, pyrazole
zolpidem - a1>a2, pyradine, imidazole
eszopiclone - no selectivity, cyclopyrrolone

why do Z drugs have faster onset
more lipophillic→ rapidly absorbed → rapid onset
what drugs are antiplatelet, anticoagulents, and thrombolytics
