We investigated the potential of DSIP and its analogue DSIP-12 (a nonapeptide with alanine in position 2 of DSIP molecule substituted by beta-alanine) to antagonize metaphit (1-[1(3-isothiocyanatophenyl)-cyclohexyl]piperidine) induced generalized, reflex audiogenic seizures in adult male Wistar albino rats.
The rats divided in four groups received (i.p.): saline; metaphit; metaphit+DSIP; and metaphit+DSIP-12, respectively.
