biological activity | Proglumide sodium is a non-peptide and orally active cholecystokinin (CCK)-A/B receptor antagonist. Proglumide sodium selectively blocks the role of CCK in the central nervous system. Proglumide sodium has the ability to inhibit gastric secretion and protect gastric duodenal mucosa, and also has antiepileptic and antioxidant activities. |
target | Cholecystokinin (CCK)-A/B receptors |
Animal Model:
| Adult male Sprague Dawley rats (200-250 g; 2 months old) are induced status epilepticus (SE) |
Dosage:
| 250 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg, and 750 mg/kg |
Administration:
| Intraperitoneal injection |
Result:
| Dose-dependently and significantly increased the latencies to seizure and SE. Significantly and dose-dependently attenuated Li-PC (SE) induced increase in thiobarbituric acid (TBARS) and catalase (CAT), attenuated Li-Pc induced decrease in SOD, and attenuated depletion of GSH and glutathione-S transferase (GST) in the hippocampus and striatum. |
