We investigated the correlation between an in vivo isobologram
based on the concentrations of new quinolones (NQs) in brain tissue and
the administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for
the occurrence of convulsions in mice and an in vitro isobologram based
on the concentrations of both drugs for changes in the

In Vivo and In Vitro Toxicodynamic Analyses of New Quinolone-and Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug-Induced Effects on the
Central Nervous System
-aminobutyric
acid (GABA)-induced current response in Xenopus oocytes
injected with mRNA from mouse brains in the presence of NQs and/or
NSAIDs. After the administration of enoxacin (ENX) in the presence or
absence of felbinac (FLB), ketoprofen (KTP), or flurbiprofen (FRP), a
synergistic effect was observed in the isobologram based on the
threshold concentration in brain tissue between mice with convulsions
and those without convulsions. The three NSAIDs did not affect the
pharmacokinetic behavior of ENX in the brain. However, the ENX-induced
inhibition of the GABA response in the GABAA receptor
expressed in Xenopus oocytes was enhanced in the presence
of the three NSAIDs. The inhibition ratio profiles of the GABA
responses for both drugs were analyzed with a newly developed
toxicodynamic model. The inhibitory profiles for ENX in the presence of
NSAIDs followed the order KTP (1.2 µM) > FRP (0.3 µM) > FLB (0.2 µM). These were 50- to 280-fold smaller than those observed in the
absence of NSAIDs. The inhibition ratio (0.01 to 0.02) of the
GABAA receptor in the presence of both drugs was
well-fitted to the isobologram based on threshold concentrations of
both drugs in brain tissue between mice with convulsions and those
without convulsions, despite the presence of NSAIDs. In mice with
convulsions, the inhibitory profiles of the threshold concentrations of
both drugs in brain tissue of mice with convulsions and those without
convulsions can be predicted quantitatively by using in vitro GABA
response data and toxicodynamic model.
