Abstract

The effect of the antiepileptic drug topiramate on Ca²⁺ uptake through (RS)-2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazol-4-yl)propionate (AMPA) and kainate (KA) receptors was investigated in different cell culture systems consisting of neurons from the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum. Ca²⁺ influx was assayed using a fluorescent Ca²⁺ chelator to monitor changes in the intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration or cobalt staining to assess the effect of topiramate on Ca²⁺-permeable AMPA/ KA receptors. In all types of neuronal cultures studied, AMPA and KA were found to elicit an influx of Ca²⁺ in a subset of the neuronal population. Topiramate, at concentrations of 30 and 100 μM, inhibited Ca²⁺ influx by up to 60%. Modulation of AMPA and KA-evoked Ca²⁺ influx may contribute to both the antiepileptic and neuroprotective properties of topiramate.
