Drug-Induced Seizures: Considerations for Underlying Molecular Mechanisms

A broad spectrum of chemical entities have been associated with drug-induced seizure (DIS), emphasizing the importance of this potential liability across various drug classes (e.g., antidepressants, antipsychotics, antibiotics, and analgesics among others). Despite its importance within drug safety testing, an understanding of the molecular mechanisms associated with DIS is often lacking. The etiology of DIS is understood to be a result of...
