S107 hydrochloride

Animal experiment:

Mice[1]To test for protection against seizures using S107, osmotic pumps are implanted, and mice are pretreated with S107 5 mg/kg/h for 1 week prior to seizure susceptibility testing. Phase 4 seizures associated with death could be avoided through intubation and artificial breathing, indicating diaphragm failure during sustained seizures as a potential cause of death. Mice are directly observed and videorecorded for later review and latency classification during a 60-minute observation period[1].
