10 Increased the seizure threshold
20
40
2 PTZ
(80 mg/kg, s.c.)
No significant effect
10 No significant effect
20 Prolonged the latencies of clonic and generalized clonic-tonic seizures, survival time, and significantly lowered seizure scores
40
2 Kainic acid
(30 mg/kg, i.p.)
No significant effect
10 No significant effect
20 No significant effect
40 Significantly reduced seizure incidence, prolonged the latency to seizures, and shortened the duration of seizures
SOMCL-668 40 Maximal electroshock seizure threshold test Increased the seizure threshold Guo et al., 2015
40 PTZ
(80 mg/kg, s.c.)
Prolonged the latency time to the generalized clonic-tonic seizures and survival time

75 NE-100 (75 mg/kg, i.p.)* Significantly reduced generalized seizure count and average behavioral score
Fenfluramine (ZX008) Maximum Tolerable Concentration Homozygous scn1a mutant zebrafish larvae Decreased epileptiform activity Sourbron et al., 2017
3 nmol NMDA (i.c.v. administration) Reduced rearing, hypermotility-circling, clonic convulsions, tonic seizures, and death Rodríguez-Muñoz et al., 2018
500 μM Low Mg2+ Blockade of early and late epileptiform activity Gentsch et al., 2000
*

NE-100 induced seizures in 100% of animals at a dose of 75 mg/kg (Vavers et al., 2017). Phenytoin, ropizine, SCH23390, and SKF38393 are not included in the table because the seizure modulating activities of these compounds are not shown to be significantly blocked by the selective Sig1R ligands.
