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
BCC6889 QX 314 bromide QX-314 bromide is a membrane-impermeable permanently charged sodium channel blocker.
BCC7326 QX 314 chloride QX-314 chloride is a membrane-impermeable permanently charged sodium channel blocker.
BCC7844 Ralfinamide mesylate Ralfinamide mesylate (FCE-26742A mesylate) is an orally available Na+ channel blocker derived from α-aminoamide, with function of suppressing pain.
BCC7847 Sipatrigine Sipatrigine, a neuroprotective agent, is a glutamate release inhibitor, voltage-dependent sodium channel and calcium channel inhibitor, penetrating the central nervous system. Has potential to treat focal cerebral ischemia and stroke.
BCC6179 TC-N 1752 1211866-85-1
BCN1035 Tetrodotoxin Tetrodotoxin is a highly selective sodium channel blocker, with IC50 of 33 nM for Nav1.6.
BCC2156 Valproic acid sodium salt (Sodium valproate) Valproic acid sodium salt (Sodium Valproate) is an HDAC inhibitor, with IC50 in the range of 0.5 and 2 mM, also inhibits HDAC1 (IC50, 400 μM), and induces proteasomal degradation of HDAC2. Valproic acid sodium salt activates Notch1 signaling and inhibits proliferation in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells. Valproic acid sodium salt is used in the treatment of epilepsy, bipolar disorder and prevention of migraine headaches.
BCN2609 Vinpocetine Vinpocetine (Ethyl apovincaminate) is a derivative of the alkaloid Vincamine that blocks voltage-gated Na+ channels. The IC50 value of Vinpocetine on direct IKK inhibition in the cell-free system is 17.17 μM. Vinpocetine is a phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor and inhibits NF-κB-dependent inflammatory responses by directly targeting IκB kinase complex (IKK), and has been widely used for the treatment of cerebrovascular disorders.
BCC1048 β-Pompilidotoxin Slows neuronal Na+ channel inactivation
BCC5078 Rufinamide Rufinamide(E 2080; CGP 33101; RUF 331) is a new antiepileptic agent that differs structurally from other antiepileptic drugs and is approved as adjunctive therapy for Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS).
