AF-CX 921
AF-CX 921 is an orally active anticonvulsant agent. AF-CX 921 exhibits antiepileptic effects in ferrets, hippocampally kindled cats, and Mongolian gerbils. AF-CX 921 exhibits anticonvulsant activity in normal and microcephalic hippocampally kindled rats. AF-CX 921 can be used for the research of epileptic seizures and epilepsy.

Biological Activity
AF-CX 921 (100 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose) significantly reduces epileptic afterdischarge duration and convulsive seizure frequency, while increasing quiet states, in both normal and hippocampally kindled microcephalic adult rats[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model:Adult rats (microcephalic rats produced by maternal intraperitoneal injection of Methylazoxy-Methanol Acetate on gestation day 15; hippocampally kindled via daily electrical stimulation of ventral hippocampi)[1]
-
Dosage:100 mg/kg
-
Administration:p.o.; single dose
-
Result:Reduced the duration of first afterdischarges (AD1) to 42.7 s in Part 1.
Reduced AD1 duration to 50.4 s in Part 2.
Reduced the frequency of focal hippocampal spiking (FS) to 17.5% in Part 1 and 23.0% in Part 2.
Reduced the frequency of second afterdischarges (AD2) to 25.0%.
Reduced total EEG epileptic activity (AD1 + FS + AD2) to 59.1 s in Part 1 and 63.6 s in Part 2.
Increased the frequency of quiet, non-responsive behavior (Q) to 64.2%.
Reduced the frequency of convulsive seizures (CS) to 21.1%.
Maintained significant suppression of CS for the full 5-hour testing period, unlike carbamazepine which lost most effect after 4-5 hours.
