4.2 Drug Warning

ALTHOUGH IT IS SLIGHTLY LESS POTENT, DOES NOT INDUCE MYASTHENIA GRAVIS-LIKE SYNDROME, & INDUCES PHOTOPHOBIA & SKIN RASHES IN SOMEWHAT FEWER PATIENTS, IT HAS SAME LIMITATIONS & EXHIBITS SAME SIDE REACTIONS AS.../TRIMETHADIONE/.

AS WITH TRIMETHADIONE, THERE IS SUGGESTIVE EVIDENCE THAT USE OF PARAMETHADIONE DURING PREGNANCY IS ASSOCIATED WITH INCR IN INCIDENCE OF CONGENITAL ABNORMALITIES. ACCORDINGLY, PARAMETHADIONE SHOULD BE AVOIDED IN PREGNANT WOMEN IF POSSIBLE.

NEPHROPATHIES HAVE DEVELOPED...ESP IN PATIENTS RECEIVING...PARAMETHADIONE. THESE REACTIONS MAY DEVELOP INSIDIOUSLY, & URINALYSES SHOULD BE MADE BEFORE & PERIODICALLY DURING TREATMENT. DEVELOPMENT OF ANY SIGNIFICANT RENAL ABNORMALITY IS INDICATION FOR DISCONTINUING THE DRUG.

4.3 Drug Indication

Used for the control of absence (petit mal) seizures that are refractory to treatment with other medications.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Paramethadione is an oxazolidinedione anticonvulsant similar to trimethadione that acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to reduce the number of absence seizures (often seen in epileptics). Absence seizures involve an interruption to consciousness where the person experiencing the seizure seems to become vacant and unresponsive for a short period of time (usually up to 30 seconds). Paramethadione acts on thalamic neurons in the thalamic reticular nucleus (which studies have shown to be associated with absence seizures, von Krosigk et al., 1993).


5.2 ATC Code

N - Nervous system

N03 - Antiepileptics

N03A - Antiepileptics

N03AC - Oxazolidine derivatives

N03AC01 - Paramethadione


5.3 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Rapid via the digestive tract.


PARAMETHADIONE IS COMPLETELY N-DEMETHYLATED TO 5-ETHYL-5-METHYL-OXAZOLIDINE-2,4-DIONE AND SLOWLY EXCRETED BY KIDNEYS.

Thienes, C., and T.J. Haley. Clinical Toxicology. 5th ed. Philadelphia: Lea and Febiger, 1972., p. 78


5.4 Metabolism/Metabolites

Primarily hepatic (mainly via cytochrome P450 isozyme 2C9), paramethadione is completely demethylated to 5-ethyl-5-methyl-2,4-oxazolidinedione, the active metabolite.

5.5 Biological Half-Life

12 to 24 hours (however the half-life for the active metabolite is not known)


Paramethadion - 12 to 24 hours; active metabolite - unknown.

5.6 Mechanism of Action

Dione anticonvulsants such as paramethadione reduce T-type calcium currents in thalamic neurons (including thalamic relay neurons). This inhibits corticothalamic transmission and raises the threshold for repetitive activity in the thalamus. This results in a dampening of the abnormal thalamocortical rhythmicity proposed to underlie the 3-Hz spike-and-wave discharge seen on electroencephalogram (EEG) during absence seizures.


Dione anticonvulsants reduce T-type calcium currents in thalamic neurons, including thalamic relay neurons. this raises the threshold for repetitive activity in the thalamus, and inhibits corticothalamic transmission. Thus, the abnormal thalamocortical rhythmicity, which is thought to underlie the 3-Hz spike-and-wave discharge seen on electroencephalogram (EEG) with absence seizures, is dampened. The maximal seizure pattern in patients undergoing electroconvulsive therapy is not modified. /Dione anticonvulsants/
