In epilepsy, allegedly, a neurotransmitter imbalance between the inhibitory GABA and the excitatory glutamate prevails. Therefore, some antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are thought to increase GABA release. Because little is known about corresponding presynaptic effects of AEDs in the human brain, this study investigated the effects of carbamazepine, lamotrigine, phenytoin, gabapentin, pregabalin, levetiracetam, and valproate on 3H-GABA release from human neocortical synaptosomes preincubated with 3H…

3H‐GABA was released from neocortical synaptosomes through transporter reversal following intrasynaptosomal Na+ accumulation by veratridine that prevents inactivation of Na+ channels that resembles maximal frequency of action potentials corresponding to epileptic seizures.

Results clearly show that LEV removes the Zn2+-induced suppression of GABAA-mediatedpresynaptic inhibition, resulting in a presynaptic decrease in glutamate-mediated excitatory transmission, providing a novel mechanism by which LEV may inhibit neuronal activity.

The depression of 3H-glutamate release by carbamazepine, lamotrigine, and phenytoin may be due to inhibited synaptosomal Na+ or Ca2+ influx.

An inhibition of glutamate release by gabapentin and pregabalin as main anticonvulsant principle is not supported by experiments, suggesting an anticonVulsant mode of action of both drugs may be the reduction of a proconvulsant exocytotic GABA release.

The hypothesis that inhibition of glutamate release is the mechanism of anticonvulsant action of lamotrigine (or carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine) is doubtful, because the drugs are markedly less potent in inhibiting the more physiologic release elicited by electrical stimulation.

It is suggested that the inhibitory effect of Ca2+ on the overall release of amino acids is due to the antagonism exerted by the divalent cation on the veratridine action at the Na+ channel, whereas the depolarization itself would have slight or no importance in the case of catecholamines.
