Dose-Dependent Effects of Myo-Inositol on Kainic Acid-Induced Epilepsy: Electrophysiological, Behavioral, Transcriptomic, and DNA Methylome Studies.

ABSTRACT: Epilepsy is a prevalent neurological disorder characterized by spontaneous recurrent seizures (SRS). Epileptogenesis is a multifaceted pathophysiological process that transforms a normal brain into one prone to chronic seizures. Targeting epileptogenesis is a compelling line of epilepsy therapy. Thus, discovering new drugs that oppose, mitigate, or modify epileptogenesis is a significant challenge in modern neuroscience. Our previous work demonstrated that, in a kainic acid (KA)-induced post-status epilepticus model, 28 days myo-inositol (MI) treatment reduces frequency and duration of motor and electrographic SRS even following cessation of treatment, for the following 4 weeks and identified MI as a promising antiepileptogenic compound To further evaluate the dose-dependent efficacy of MI
