The use of methsuximide to control seizures in 25 children (mean age, 10.2 yr) with intractable epilepsy who were given methsuximide at a mean dose of 20.4 mg/kg/day in addition to their regular antiepileptic drug /therapy was examined/. Results showed that in 15 patients the drug was well tolerated and resulted in a 50% or greater reduction in seizure frequency. No serious or irreversible adverse effects were seen. Methsuximide is frequently overlooked and may be an effective adjunctive antiepileptic for children with intractable seizures.

The blood dyscrasia-causing effects of succinimide anticonvulsants may result in an increased incidence of microbial infection, delayed healing, and gingival bleeding. If leukopenia or thrombocytopenia occurs, dental work should be deferred until blood counts have returned to normal. Patients should be instructed in proper oral hygiene during treatment, including caution in use of regular toothbrushes, dental floss, and toothpicks. /Succinimide anticonvulsants/

The most common adverse nervous system effects are drowsiness, ataxia, and dizziness. Adverse psychologic effects have included instability, hypochondriacal behavior, aggressiveness, and mental confusion, depression, and slowness. Rarely, psychosis, suicidal behavior, and auditory hallucinations have been reported.

Adverse dermatologic effects may include urticaria, pruritic erythematous rash, and Steven-Johnson syndrome. Adverse genitourinary effects associated with methsuximide include proteinuria and microscopic hematuria. Periorbital edema and hyperemia have also occurred.

For the control of absence (petit mal) seizures that are refractory to other drugs.
Used in the treatment of epilepsy. Methsuximide suppresses the paroxysmal three cycle per second spike and wave activity associated with lapses of consciousness which is common in absence (petit mal) seizures. The frequency of epileptiform attacks is reduced, apparently by depression of the motor cortex and elevation of the threshold of the central nervous system to convulsive stimuli.

Limited studies in patients who have taken extremely high doses of methsuximide and one study involving a small number of patients receiving methsuximide for the management of epilepsy indicate that the drug is metabolized via N-demethylation to N-demethylmethsuximide (NDM). Profound CNS depression following methsuximide overdosage has been attributed to this metabolite, and it is probable that the anticonvulsant effects of the drug result from NDM. Overdosage of methsuccimide may follow a biphasic course; patients have awakened and relapsed into coma within 24 hours. In one study in patients receiving methsuximide chronically, the plasma concentration of NDM was 700 times greater than the simultaneous plasma concentration of methsuximide. On the basis of this one study, a tentative therapeutic plasma NDM concentration of 10-40 ug/mL has been proposed; plasma NDM concentrations exceeding 40 ug/mL have been associated with toxicity and coma has been reported at plasma NDM concentrations of 150 ug/mL.

The pharmacokinetics of methsuximide and its major metabolite 2-methyl-2-phenylsuccinimide were studied in dogs after single intravenous doses. Plasma methsuximide levels were described by a two-compartment open model, and those of the metabolite were described by a one-compartment open model. An expression was derived that describes both methsuximide and metabolite plasma levels after methsuximide administration. Excellent fits were obtained between observed data and those predicted from the model. The metabolite, 2-methyl-2-phenylsuccinimide accounted for 40% of the overall elimination of methsuximide, and the half-life of the metabolite (15 hr) was much greater than that of the parent drug (1-3.5 hr). The results suggest that pharmacological effects after methsuximide administration may be due primarily to the metabolite, which may accumulate in the body during repeated doses.

Binds to T-type voltage sensitive calcium channels. Voltage-sensitive calcium channels (VSCC) mediate the entry of calcium ions into excitable cells and are also involved in a variety of calcium-dependent processes, including muscle contraction, hormone or neurotransmitter release, gene expression, cell motility, cell division and cell death. The isoform alpha-1G gives rise to T-type calcium currents. T-type calcium channels belong to the "low-voltage activated (LVA)" group and are strongly blocked by mibefradil. A particularity of this type of channels is an opening at quite negative potentials and a voltage-dependent inactivation. T-type channels serve pacemaking functions in both central neurons and cardiac nodal cells and support calcium signaling in secretory cells and vascular smooth muscle. They may also be involved in the modulation of firing patterns of neurons which is important for information processing as well as in cell growth processes.
Succinimide anticonvulsants are thought to increase the seizure threshold and suppress the paroxysmal three-cycle-per-second spike-and-wave pattern seen with absence (petit mal) seizures. The frequency of attacks is reduced by depression of nerve transmission in the motor cortex. These effects may be due to direct modification of membrane function in excitable cells and/or alteration of chemically mediated neurotransmission. The specific effect of ethosuximide against absence seizures appears to be due to its ability to block T-type calcium channels at concentrations that do not affect other ion channels. /Succinimide anticonvulsants/

Inhibition of T-type Ca(2+) channels has been proposed to play a role in the therapeutic action of succinimide antiepileptic drugs. Despite the widespread acceptance of this hypothesis, recent studies using rat and cat neurons have failed to confirm inhibition of T-type currents at therapeutically relevant concentrations. The present study re-examines this issue using the three cloned human channels that constitute the T-type family: alpha 1G, alpha 1H, and alpha 1I. The cloned cDNAs were stably transfected and expressed into mammalian cells, leading to the appearance of typical T-type currents. The results demonstrate that both ethosuximide and the active metabolite of methsuximide, alpha-methyl-alpha-phenylsuccinimide (MPS), block human T-type channels in a state-dependent manner, with higher affinity for inactivated channels. In contrast, succinimide analogs that are not anticonvulsive were relatively poor blockers. The apparent affinity of MPS for inactivated states of the three channels was estimated using two independent measures: K(I) for alpha 1G and alpha 1I was 0.3 to 0.5 mM and for alpha 1H was 0.6 to 1.2 mM. T-type channels display current at the end of long pulses (persistent current), and this current was especially sensitive to block (ethosuximide IC(50) = 0.6 mM). These drugs also reduced both the size of the T-type window current region and the currents elicited by a mock low threshold spike. /The authors/ conclude that succinimide antiepileptic drugs are capable of blocking human T-type channels at therapeutically relevant concentrations.
