2H-1,3-Oxazine-2,4(3H)-dione,5,5-diethyldihydro-

Dioxone is a substance possessing convulsant properties qualitatively similar to leptazol and bemegride. Dioxone is orally active[1].

Research Areas >> Neurological Disease

Dioxone is soluble in ethanol, ether, chloroform and propylene glycol. A 1 percent aqueous solution may be obtained at room temperature giving a pH of 4.3, and, with warming to 50℃, 2 percent aqueous solutions may be prepared[1].

Dioxone (0-30 mg/kg; i.v., i.p., oral, s.c.; once) induces convulsant action[1]. Animal Model: CF-1 Mice and CF-Wistar rats[1] Dosage: 0-30 mg/kg Administration: Intraperitoneal injection, once Result: In mice: The spontaneous activity was often reduced, always accompanied by hyperreactivity at 10 mg/kg, tremors, clonic convulsion and motor incoordination phenomena occured after the administration of 30 mg/kg. In rats: Tremors and some isolated clonus of the muscles of the limbs were observed with 10 mg/kg, clonic convukions occurred with doses above 15 mg/kg.
