Epilepsy Research

Epilepsy is a group of neurological conditions consisting of recurrent, usually unprovoked epileptic seizures. Epileptic seizures have recently been defined as "a transient occurrence of signs and/or symptoms due to abnormal, excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain". Epilepsy is one of the most common disorders of the brain, with one in 10 people suffering at least one seizure in their lifetime. There are over 40 different types of epilepsy, each of which presents with its own unique combination of seizure type, typical age of onset, EEG findings, treatment, and prognosis.

Cat.No. Product Name Information/Activity
BCC7086 MNI-caged-L-glutamate 295325-62-1
BCC7453 Pentylenetetrazole 54-95-5
BCC6731 Salsolinol-1-carboxylic acid 57256-34-5
BCC6632 Spaglumic acid Spaglumic Acid is a neuropeptide found in millimolar concentrations in brain.
BCN2571 L-Theanine L-Theanine (L-Glutamic Acid γ-ethyl amide）is a non-protein amino acid contained in green tea leaves, which blocks the binding of L-glutamic acid to glutamate receptors in the brain, and with neuroprotective and anti-oxidative activities. L-Theanine causes anti-stress effects via the inhibition of cortical neuron excitation by oral intake.
BCC2512 Zonisamide Zonisamide is a 1,2 benzisoxazole derivative and the first agent of this chemical class to be developed as an antiepileptic drug.
BCC6566 cis-ACPD 477331-06-9
BCC2894 H-D-Asp-OH (-)-Aspartic acid is an endogenous NMDA receptor agonist.
BCC2881 H-Asp-OH L-Aspartic acid is is an amino acid, shown to be a suitable prodrug for colon-specific drug deliverly.
BCC6571 L-Cysteinesulfinic acid L-Cysteinesulfinic acid is a potent agonist at several rat metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) with pEC50s of 3.92±0.03, 4.6±0.2, 3.9±0.2, 2.7±0.2, 4.0±0.2, and 3.94±0.08 for mGluR1, mGluR5, mGluR2, mGluR4, mGluR6, and mGluR8, respectively.
