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.
