| Abstract | The effects of tonabersat (SB-220453) were evaluated on trigeminal nerve ganglion stimulation-induced sensory-autonomic neurovascular reflexes in the anaesthetized cat. Comparisons were made to intravenous administration of carabersat (SB-204269), and to valproate, gabapentin and lamotrigine following intraduodenal administration. There were no effects on resting blood pressure, heart rate, carotid blood flow or carotid vascular resistance for any compound evaluated. Trigeminal nerve ganglion stimulation increased carotid blood flow by 65% and reduced vascular resistance by 41% with minimal effect on blood pressure (<10%) and no effect on heart rate. Intravenous infusion of tonabersat or carabersat (both 3.4 μmol h−1) produced time related reductions in stimulation-induced responses with a maximal inhibition (relative to control) of 30±7% (n=4), at 240 min for tonabersat and 33±4% (n=3) at 180 min for carabersat. Tonabersat (11.5 μmol h−1) produced a similar inhibitory effect (32±9%, n=4) after 120 min of infusion. Following intraduodenal administration of tonabersat, the maximal inhibition of nerve stimulation-induced responses was 55±4% at 120 min (n=4) for tonabersat 10 mg kg−1, and 24±2% after 180 min for 1 mg kg−1 (n=4). Intraduodenal administration of sodium valproate (10 or 100 mg kg−1 n=4/group) had no effect on neurovascular reflexes. Maximal inhibition of nerve ganglion-stimulated reductions in carotid vascular resistance were observed at 150 min for lamotrigine (50 mg kg−1, 52±12%, n=4) and gabapentin (100 mg kg−1, 17±13%, n=3). Lamotrigine 10 mg kg−1 produced 22±11% (n=3) inhibition after 180 min. These data demonstrate blockade of trigeminal parasympathetic reflexes with tonabersat, carabersat and other anticonvulsants. These agents may therefore have therapeutic benefit in conditions where this type of reflex is evident. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
