Abstract

Provided, inter alia, are methods for treating an epilepsy disorder using a 5HT receptor agonist, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Claims (14)

1. A method of treating Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, said method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a 5HT receptor agonist, wherein said 5HT receptor agonist is clemizole, a clemizole analog, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is clemizole hydrochloride, clemizole hydrobromide, clemizole hydroiodide, clemizole sulfates, clemizole sulfonates, clemizole phosphates, clemizole monohydrogenphosphates, clemizole dihydrogenphosphates, clemizole nitrates, clemizole carbonates, clemizole monohydrogencarbonates, clemizole maleates, clemizole undecylates, clemizole malates, clemizole acetates, clemizole citrates, clemizole fumarates, clemizole proprionates, clemizole isobutyrates, clemizole malonates, clemizole suberates, clemizole lactates, clemizole mandelates, clemizole phthalates, clemizole oxalates, clemizole benzenesulfonates, clemizole p-tolylsulfonates, clemizole methanesulfonates, clemizole tartrates, clemizole succinates, clemizole benzoates, clemizole penicillin, clemizole salts with amino acids or a quaternary ammonium salt of clemizole, wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is not a salt of topiramate.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising an anti-epilepsy drug (AED).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said subject has a cardiovascular disease.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said subject is resistant to treatment with a serotonin reuptake inhibitor.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said subject is susceptible to side effects when administered a serotonin reuptake inhibitor.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said clemizole, a clemizole analog, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof inhibits compulsive behaviors or electrographic seizures in said subject when compared to the absence of said 5HT receptor agonist.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said clemizole, a clemizole analog, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof reduces or prevents myoclonus seizures or status epilepticus in said subject when compared to the absence of said 5HT receptor agonist.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said 5HT receptor agonist is administered to said subject at an amount of about 0.1 mg to about 1000 mg per kg body weight.

9. The method of claim 2 , wherein said AED is acetazolamide, benzodiazepine, carbamazepine, clobazam, clonazepam, eslicarbazepine acetate, ethosuximide, ethotoin, felbamate, fenfluramine, fosphenytoin, gabapentin, ganaxolone, huperzine A, lacosamide, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, nitrazepam, oxcarbazepine, perampanel, piracetam, phenobarbital, phenytoin, potassium bromide, pregabalin, primidone, retigabine, rufinamide, valproic acid, sodium valproate, stiripentol, tiagabine, vigabatrin, or zonisamide.

10. The method of claims 1 , wherein said clemizole, clemizole analog, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof forms a pharmaceutical composition.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein said pharmaceutical composition comprises a therapeutically effective amount of said clemizole, clemizole analog, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein said pharmaceutical composition is co-administered with an anti-epileptic drug (AED).

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein said pharmaceutical composition comprises said clemizole, clemizole analog, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an AED.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein said pharmaceutically acceptable salt is clemizole HCL.
