Ethosuximide-d5 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of ethosuximide by GC- or LC-MS. Ethosuximide is an anticonvulsant.1,2,3,4,5 It increases glucose, fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, and pyruvate levels in rat brain when administered at a dose of 200 mg/kg.1 Ethosuximide (400 mg/kg) reduces the severity of audiogenic seizures in a rat model of barbiturate withdrawal-induced convulsions.2 It also inhibits tonic hindlimb extension induced by pentylenetetrazole or brainstem stimulation (ED50s = 35 and 70 mg/kg, respectively), as well as leptazol-induced clonic seizures (ED50 = 230 mg/kg), in rats.3,4 Ethosuximide reduces resting tremor by 60% in a macaque model of Parkinson's disease induced by MPTP when administered at a dose of 150 mg/animal for 5 days.5 Formulations containing ethosuximide have been used in the treatment of petit mal seizures. | [References]
