Table 2. Overview of NK-1R antagonist effects in various experimental models.
Antagonist | Type | Model | Main findings | Ref |
---|---|---|---|---|
SP antagonists | Electroshock/ intravenous bicuculline (rats) | Significantly attenuated convulsions | [89] | |
CP-122,721-1 | Non-peptide | KA (i.p. rats) | Possibly decreased seizure activity; Counteracted KA-induced nerve cell death in CA1 | [21] |
Spantide II and RP-67,580 | Bipolar electrode stimulation in DG (rats) | Reduced seizure duration in a dose-dependent manner; Suppressed EEG frequency | [20] | |
GR205171 (vofopitant) | Electroshock (rats) | Exhibited no anticonvulsant efficacy by itself; Potentiated the anticonvulsant efficacy of lamotrigine and other sodium channel blockers | [91] |
KA, kainic acid; EEG, electroencephalographic; DG, dentate gyrus.
