Aims: Comorbidities with epilepsy and antiseizure medications (ASMs) are currently the main challenges in treating epilepsy. The current study evaluates for the first time the neuroprotective effect of roflumilast (ROF) alone or combined with phenytoin (PHT) against pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced kindling in mice. It focuses on the crosstalk between the NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3)/caspase 1/interleukin 1β (IL-1β) cascade and the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)/sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) pathway as possible strategies to treat epilepsy.
