Previous evidence has shownthat chronic 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MP) administration inducedbrain Pglycoprotein (P-gp) overexpression altering target site accumulation of phenytoin. The aim of the present work was to assess the involvement of P-glycoprotein in carbamazepine and phenobarbital hippocampal pharmacokinetics in an experimental model of epilepsy, induced by repetitive MP administration. Seizures were induced in Wistar rats by injection of MP (45mgkg−1, i.p.) during 10 days. Control rats (C) were injected with saline solution. In order to monitor extracellular brain antiepileptic levels, a concentric probe was inserted into the hippocampus. Animals were administered with carbamazepine (10mgkg−1, i.v.) or phenobarbital (20mgkg−1, i.v.) 30 min after intraperitoneal administration of vehicle or nimodipine (2mgkg−1), awell knownP-glycoprotein inhibitor.No differenceswere found in hippocampal concentrations of carbamazepine comparing all groups. In vehicle pre-treated rats, hippocampal phenobarbital concentrationswere lower inMP (maximal concentration, Cmax: 6.0±0.6gml−1, p < 0.05) than in C animals (Cmax: 9.4±0.9gml−1). Control rats pre-treated with nimodipine showed similar results (Cmax: 10.7±0.6gml−1) than those pre-treated with vehicle. Nimodipine pre-treatment in MP rats enhanced hippocampal phenobarbital concentrations (Cmax: 10.2±1.0gml−1, p < 0.05) as compared with vehicle pre-treatment. Results of our work suggest that P-glycoprotein (P-gp) overexpression by repetitive seizures induced by MP administration does not modify brain bioavailability of carbamazepine. Conversely, hippocampal levels of phenobarbital are reduced in MP rats with regard to non-epileptic rats, suggesting a potential role of P-gp overexpression in pharmacoresistance to phenobarbital. with vehicle pre-treatment.

In vehicle pre-treated rats, hippocampal phenobarbital concentrationswere lower inMP (maximal concentration, Cmax: 6.0±0.6gml−1, p < 0.05) than in C animals (Cmax: 9.4±0.9gml−1). Control rats pre-treated with nimodipine showed similar results (Cmax: 10.7±0.6gml−1) than those pre-treated with vehicle. Nimodipine pre-treatment in MP rats enhanced hippocampal phenobarbital concentrations (Cmax
