Identification of new KCNT1-epilepsy drugs by in silico, cell and Drosophila modelling.

Michael G. Ricos, Bethan A. Cole, Rashid Hussain…·Jonathan D. Lippiat

This study identifies two existing drugs that reduce KCNT1 channel activity and seizure activity in Drosophila models, suggesting potential new treatments for KCNT1-epilepsy.

Modelling human KCNT1-epilepsy in Drosophila: a seizure phenotype and drug responses

Rashid Hussain, Chiao Xin Lim, Zeeshan Shaukat…·Leanne M. Dibbens

This study models human KCNT1-epilepsy in Drosophila by expressing patient mutations and shows drug responses, demonstrating the utility of Drosophila as a model for assessing treatments.
