Possible Interaction: Anticonvulsants and Glycine

supplement:

Glycine

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Glycine thus potentiates anticonvulsant effects , but only of some drugs and only in some of the seizure models.
Neurochemical Research  •  2004  |  View Paper
Glycine blocked the anticonvulsant effects of felbamate on electroshock- and NMDA-induced seizures in mice.
European journal of pharmacology  •  1994  |  View Paper
This study evaluated a possible mechanism by which glycine potentiates the activity of anticonvulsant drugs against maximal electroshock seizures in rats.
European journal of pharmacology  •  1991  |  View Paper
Although the mechanism may not be mediated by a glycine-GABA interaction, the evidence does implicate a possible interaction between glycine and anticonvulsant drugs at NMDA receptors.
Glycine also potentiated the anticonvulsant actions of MK-801 and diazepam but did not improve the selectivity of the drugs, as effective doses were still associated with neurotoxicity.
Neuropharmacology  •  1990  |  View Paper
The lack of interaction between MK-801 and glycine was unexpected considering that glycine potentiates MK-801 receptor binding as well as the activity of other anticonvulsants.
