Stimulated release of exogenous GABA and glutamate from cerebral cortical synaptosomes and brain slices by bis(acetato)tetrakis(imidazole) copper(II) complex
Abdul-Ghani A, Abu-Hijleh A, Qazzaz M, Muhaisen A, Ghani R
Biol Trace Elem Res . 2005 Dec; 108(1-3):205-14. PMID: 16327073
In these experiments we have tested the effect of bis(acetato)tetrakis (imidazole) copper(II) on the release and uptake of 14C-GABA and 3H-glutamate from brain slices and brain cortical synaptosomes. Cu(OAc)2(Im)4 in...

Effect of bis(acetato)tetrakis(imidazole) copper(II) in delaying the onset and reducing the mortality rate of strychnine- and thiosemicarbazide- induced convulsions
Abdul-Ghani A, Abu-Hijleh A, Qazzaz M
Biol Trace Elem Res . 2004 Nov; 101(1):87-95. PMID: 15516705
The anticonvulsant activity of bis(acetato)tetrakis(imidazole) copper(II), Cu(OAc)2(Im)4, was studied in normal mice using chemical convulsions induced by strychnine, thiosemicarbazide, picrotoxin, and pentelenetetrazol. Intraperitoneal administration of Cu(OAc)2(Im)4, 50 mg/kg body mass,...
