Application
Levetiracetam EP Reference standard, intended for use in laboratory tests only as specifically prescribed in the European Pharmacopoeia.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Levetiracetam is a pyrrolidine with antiepileptic activity.
Levetiracetam is a pyrrolidine with antiepileptic activity. Stereoselective binding of levetiracetam was confined to synaptic plasma membranes in the central nervous system with no binding occurring in peripheral tissue. Levetiracetam inhibits burst firing without affecting normal neuronal excitability, which suggests that it may selectively prevent hyper-synchronization of epileptiform burst firing and propagation of seizure activity.

We have recently shown that levetiracetam, administered systemically, exerts an antihyperalgesic effect in a rat inflammatory pain model. In this study, we examined whether levetiracetam has local peripheral antihyperalgesic/anti-edematous effects in the same model of localized inflammation and whether opioidergic

Levetiracetam (LEV) is a widely used antiepileptic agent for partial refractory epilepsy in humans. LEV has unique antiepileptic effects in that it does not inhibit electroshock- or pentylenetetrazol-induced convulsion, but does inhibit seizures in kindling animal and spontaneously epileptic rat

Levetiracetam (Keppra) is an antiepileptic drug (AED) characterized by a novel mechanism of action, unique profile of activity in seizure models, and broad-spectrum clinical efficacy. The present report critically reviews several preclinical studies focused on combination therapy with levetiracetam and
