Zonisamide (ZNS)-induced behavior disorders are reported in a 1-year-old girl and a 3-year-old boy. Both patients, who had no previous developmental or mental problems, displayed secondarily generalized motor seizures. Serum concentrations of ZNS were not high, 8.8 and 12.3 micrograms/ml (effective range 10-30 micrograms/ml) respectively. Although many cases of ZNS-related psychotic reactions and/or behavior disorders have been reported, all affected patients had complex partial seizures (CPS) and had received combination therapy with phenytoin (PHT). Thus, whether the disorders were induced only by ZNS, by an interaction between ZNS and PHT, or by CPS could not be determined. In the children reported, however, ZNS clearly induced behavior disorders at plasma ZNS levels within or even below the therapeutic range.

Oligohidrosis and Hyperthermia in Pediatric Patients: Oligohidrosis, sometimes resulting in heat stroke and hospitalization, is seen in association with zonisamide in pediatric patients. ... Decreased sweating and an elevation in body temperature above normal characterized these cases. Many cases were reported after exposure to elevated environmental temperatures. Heat stroke, requiring hospitalization, was diagnosed in some cases. There have been no reported deaths. Pediatric patients appear to be at an increased risk for zonisamide-associated oligohidrosis and hyperthermia. Patients, especially pediatric patients, treated with Zonegran should be monitored closely for evidence of decreased sweating and increased body temperature, especially in warm or hot weather. Caution should be used when zonisamide is prescribed with other drugs that predispose patients to heat-related disorders; these drugs include, but are not limited to, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and drugs with anticholinergic activity.

Fatalities resulting from severe reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, have occurred following use of zonisamide. Use of sulfonamides also rarely has caused fatalities resulting from fulminant hepatic necrosis, agranulocytosis, aplastic anemia, and other blood dyscrasias, regardless of the route of administration. Zonisamide should be discontinued immediately if signs or symptoms of hypersensitivity occur. Discontinuance of zonisamide should be considered whenever a patient receiving zonisamide develops unexplained rash; if the drug is not discontinued, the patient should be observed frequently.

During the premarketing development of zonisamide, 9 sudden and unexplained deaths were reported among a cohort of 991 patients with epilepsy receiving adjunctive therapy with the drug (7.7 deaths per 1000 patient-years). Although the rate of these deaths exceeds that expected to occur in a healthy (nonepileptic) population, this rate was similar to that occurring in patients with refractory epilepsy not receiving zonisamide.

Zonegran is indicated as:
- monotherapy in the treatment of partial seizures, with or without secondary generalisation, in adults with newly diagnosed epilepsy;

Zonisamide is a sulfonamide and therefore unrelated to other seizure medications. The mechanism is not know but it may block sodium and calcium channels. Blocking of these channels may prevent neuronal hypersynchronization. Sonisamide has also been found to potentiate dopaminergic and serotonergic neurotransmission but does not appear to potentiate syanptic activity by GABA (gamma amino butyric acid).

Zonisamide is distributed to breast milk, cerebrospinal fluid, and erythrocytes. Concentration in erythrocytes is approximately 8 times higher than in plasma and the milk-to-plasma ratio is 0.93.

Following a 200-400 mg oral zonisamide dose, peak plasma concentrations (range: 2-5 ug/mL) in normal volunteers occur within 2-6 hours. In the presence of food, the time to maximum concentration is delayed, occurring at 4-6 hours, but food has no effect on the bioavailability of zonisamide. Zonisamide extensively binds to erythrocytes, resulting in an eight-fold higher concentration of zonisamide in red blood cells (RBC) than in plasma. The pharmacokinetics of zonisamide are dose proportional in the range of 200-400 mg, but the Cmax and AUC increase disproportionately at 800 mg, perhaps due to saturable binding of zonisamide to RBC. Once a stable dose is reached, steady state is achieved within 14 days. ...The apparent volume of distribution (V/F) of zonisamide is about 1.45 L/kg following a 400 mg oral dose. Zonisamide, at concentrations of 1.0-7.0 ug/mL, is approximately 40% bound to human plasma proteins. Protein binding of zonisamide is unaffected in the presence of therapeutic concentrations of phenytoin, phenobarbital or carbamazepine.

Zonisamide binds to sodium channels and voltage sensitive calcium channels, which suppresses neuronal depolarization and hypersynchronization. Zonisamide also inhibits carbonic anhydrase to a weaker extent, but such an effect is not thought to contribute substantially to the drug's anticonvulsant activity.
The exact method by which zonisamide exerts its anticonvulsant effect is unknown. Some in vitro studies suggest a blockade of sodium channels, with consequent stabilization of neuronal membranes and suppression of neuronal hypersynchronization, whereas other in vitro studies have shown zonisamide to suppress synaptically-driven electrical activity without affecting postsynaptic GABA or glutamate responses. It appears then, that zonisamide dose not potentiate the synaptic activity of GABA. Zonisamide also serves as a weak inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase.

Epileptiform discharges and behavioral seizures may be the consequences of excess excitation associated with the neurotransmitter glutamate, or from inadequate inhibitory effects associated with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Synaptic effects of these neurotransmitters are terminated by the action of transporter proteins that remove amino acids from the synaptic cleft. Excitation initiated by the synaptic release of glutamate is attenuated by the action of glial transporters glutamate-aspartate transporter (GLAST) and glutamate transporter-1 (GLT-1), and the neuronal transporter excitatory amino-acid carrier-1 (EAAC-1). GABA is removed from synaptic regions by the action of the transporters proteins GABA transporter-1 (GAT-1) and GABA transporter-3 (GAT-3). Albino rats with chronic, spontaneous recurrent seizures induced by the amygdalar injection of eCl3 were treated for 14 days with zonisamide (ZNS) (40 mg/kg, ip). Control animals underwent saline injection into the same amygdalar regions. Treatment control for both groups of intracerebrally injected animals was ip injection of equal volumes of saline. Western blotting was used to measure the quantity of glutamate and GABA transporters in hippocampus and frontal cortex. ZNS caused increase in the quantity of EAAC-1 protein in hippocampus and cortex and down regulation of the GABA transporter GAT-1. These changes occurred in both experimental and ZNS treated control animals. These data show that the molecular effect of ZNS, with up-regulation of EAAC-1 and decreased production of GABA transporters, should result in increased tissue and synaptic concentrations of GABA.
