Embodiment

[0165] Compound C-7, used in the studies described below, is an orally active compound of general formula (I).

[0166]The study used the IPS / PPR paradigm. This is a multicenter, non-randomized, single-blind, within-subject, placebo-controlled proof-of-concept study conducted to evaluate a single oral dose of Compound C-7 in inhibiting photoictal responses in PSE patients ( PPR) or the effect of reducing the standard photoparoxysmal response range (SPR). Photosensitivity was detected using electroencephalography (EEG) measurements in subjects exposed to intermittent photostimulation (IPS). This EEG response is the photoparoxysmal response (PPR). For research purposes, it is desired that the PPR is triggered by the IPS, not the seizure. The SPR for each patient is the number of standard visual stimulus frequencies (in Hertz) to which the patient is sensitive, between the lower and upper thresholds. Test 14 frequencies (2-60Hz). The onset and duration of response (PPR inhib...

Abstract

The invention concerns the use of competitive AMPA receptor antagonists for the treatment or prevention of photosensitive epilepsy.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the pharmaceutical use of 1H-quinazoline-2,4-dione, its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and its prodrugs specifically for the treatment of photosensitive epilepsy (PSE). Background of the invention [0002] Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders, with a lifetime prevalence of more than 1% of the world's population. Despite the availability of approximately 20 antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), there is still a high medical need for improved epilepsy treatment, as approximately 30-40% of patients are inadequately controlled or affected by drug side effects. [0003] Photosensitive epilepsy (PSE) is a rare form of reflex epilepsy in which seizures are elicited in photosensitive individuals by periodic visual stimuli such as flashes of light or flickering lights, or regular patterns such as bars or grids. Said modes are usually high in brightness contrast (bright flashes of alternating light and dark, or wh...
