Xylazine hydrochloride x 1251

Epilepsy is a persistent brain condition that impacts roughly 1% of the global population. It can have a detrimental influence on a patient's safety, relationships, employment, and life quality. In roughly 70% of instances, seizures may be controlled with anti-epileptic medicines, whereas 30% of patients remain resistant. It is consequently necessary to find new anti-epileptic targets. In this study, 28 adult male mice (about six weeks old) weighing 20±2 grams were obtained. Throughout the research, the mice had unrestricted access to water and food. They were housed in separate cages at 22-24oC room temperature with a 12-hour light/dark cycle. This research was carried out in conformity with institutional, national, and international regulations and standards for animal testing (OPRR, 1986; OLAW, 2002; Couto and Cates, 2019) (link). The following chemicals were bought from Sigma Aldrich: pilocarpine hydrochloride (P6503), xylazine hydrochloride (X1251), ketamine hydrochloride (K113), and pioglitazone hydrochloride (E6910). In this investigation 80 mg/kg of pioglitazone was dissolved in 0.1% carboxymethyl cellulos (w/v) and given to the mice orally (Rajaba et al., 2014) (link). To induce seizure, 400 mg/kg of pilocarpine (a single dose) was administered intraperitoneally (IP) (Figure 1) (Alharbi, 2021) .
