Abstract excerpt
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder. About one-third of epilepsy patients have a multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype and develop refractory epilepsy (RE). Changes in the properties of the antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) targets resulting in reduced drug sensitivity, can't explain the MDR phenotype. This particular refractoriness is now attributed to overexpression of multidrug transporters in brain, leading to...
