Possible Interaction: Alpha-lipoic acid and Pilocarpine

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

LA (10, 20 or 30 mg/kg) pretreatment completely blocked pilocarpine‐evoked increases in extracellular glutamate and aspartate concentrations.
Therefore, the fact that LA could drastically reduce pilocarpine‐induced increases in glutamate and aspartate should account, at least partly, for its anticonvulsant activity observed in pilocarpine‐induced seizure in rats.

The results of the present study demonstrated that preadministration of LA abolished seizure episodes induced by pilocarpine in rat, probably by reducing oxidative stress in rat hippocampus caused by seizures.

In turn, LA plus pilocarpine abolished the appearance of seizures and reversed the decreased in delta-ALA-D and Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activities produced by seizures, when compared to the pilocarpine seizing group.
The results from the present study demonstrate that preadministration of LA abolished seizure episodes induced by pilocarpine in rat, probably by increasing delta-ALA-D and Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activities in rat brain during seizures.

The results from the present study demonstrate that preadministration of LA abolished seizure episodes induced by pilocarpine in rat, probably by increasing AChE and Na+, K+-ATPase activities in rat hippocampus.
