One-third of people with epilepsy continue to experience seizures despite treatment existing anti-seizure medications (ASMs). The failure modern ASMs substantially improve prognosis has been partly attributed overreliance on acute rodent models in preclinical drug development as they do not adequately recapitulate the mechanisms human epilepsy, are labor-intensive and unsuitable for high-throughput screening (HTS). There is an urgent need find human-relevant HTS identify novel compounds. This paper developed new ASMs. 14 natural compounds (α-asarone, curcumin, vinpocetine, magnolol, ligustrazine, osthole, tanshinone IIA, piperine, gastrodin, quercetin, berberine, chrysin, schizandrin A resveratrol) were assessed their ability suppress epileptiform activity measured by multi-electrode arrays (MEA) neural cultures derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). In parallel, tested effects zebrafish mouse models, which have widely used these compared. Two approved positive controls.

Mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome is a complex mitochondrial disorder characterized by wide range of systemic manifestations. Key clinical features include recurrent episodes, seizures, muscle weakness, exercise intolerance, sensorineural hearing loss, diabetes, progressive neurological decline. MELAS most commonly associated with mutations in DNA, particularly the m.3243A>G mutation MT-TL1 gene, which encodes tRNALeu (CUR). These impair protein synthesis, leading to defective oxidative phosphorylation energy failure at cellular level. The presentation severity vary widely among patients, but often results significant morbidity reduced life expectancy because deterioration. Current management largely focused on conservative care, including anti-seizure medications, arginine or citrulline supplementation, high-dose taurine, dietary therapies. However, these therapies do not address underlying genetic mutations, leaving many patients substantial disease burden. Emerging experimental treatments, such as gene therapy replacement techniques, aim correct defects offer potential curative strategies. Further research essential understand pathophysiology MELAS, optimize current therapies, develop novel treatments that may significantly improve patient outcomes extend survival.
