Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Zonisamide is a sulfonamide derivative exhibiting a broad spectrum of antiepileptic activity. Zonisamide inhibits voltage-dependent Na+ channels and Ca2+ channels of T-type.[1] Zonisamide inhibits monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) activity in vitro with an IC50 of 25 µM.[2] The EC50 value for zonisamide-stimulated large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BK(Ca)) channels is 34 µM. Zonisamide (30 µM) reversibly increases the amplitude of K+ outward currents in differentiated hippocampal 19-7 cells. Moreover, zonisamide at a concentration greater than 100 µM also reduces the amplitude of A-type K+ current in differentiated hippocampal 19-7 cells.[3] In vivo, zonisamide treatment ( 40 mg/kg) increases dopamine turnover in the striatum of mice and common marmosets treated with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP).[4] Zonisamide also has neuroprotective effect against dopaminergic cell damage which may be mediated by the elevation of tyrosine hidroxylase (TH) activity on dopaminergic system after MPTP treatment in mice.[5]

Protocols

In vitro: Zonisamide is dissolved in water.[2]
