Calcium channel ^[1]

In vitro
In vitro	Levetiracetam and related compounds bind to SV2A expressed in fibroblasts, indicating that SV2A is sufficient for Levetiracetam binding. ^[1] Levetiracetam irreversibly inhibits the high-voltage-activated (HVA) calcium current by approximately 18% on the average in freshly isolated CA1 hippocampal neurons of rats. Levetiracetam selectively inhibits N-type Ca2+ channels of CA1 pyramidal hippocampal neurons. ^[2] Levetiracetam reverses the inhibitory effect of DMCM on GABA-elicited currents in hippocampal neurons. ^[3]

In Vivo
In vivo	Levetiracetam (17 mg/kg) produces a potent suppression of sound-induced clonic convulsions in mice, and this protective effect is significantly abolished by co-administration of the beta-carboline FG 7142. ^[3] Levetiracetam exerts potent anticonvulsant activity against both focal and secondarily generalized seizures in fully amygdala-kindled rats, i.e. , a model of temporal lobe epilepsy. Levetiracetam (13 mg/kg, 27 mg/kg or 54 mg/kg, i.p.) dose-dependently suppresses the increase in seizure severity and duration induced by repeated amygdala stimulation. Levetiracetam has a relatively short half-life (about 2-3 hours) in rats. ^[4] Levetiracetam (5.4 mg/kg to 96 mg/kg i.p.) dose-dependently inhibits both wild running and tonic-clonic convulsions in the audiogenic-seizure prone rat. Levetiracetam markedly suppresses spontaneous spike-and-wave discharge (SWD) but leaves the underlying EEG trace normal in the GAERS model of petit mal epilepsy. ^[5]

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH₂O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
