Abstract
⺠Medium chain straight and branched fatty acids were examined for seizure control in vitro. ⺠Structural specificity was shown for these compounds. ⺠Side effects were examined for active seizure-control compounds. ⺠In vivo seizure control, sedation and neuroprotection were shown for these compounds. ⺠Medium chain fatty acids relating to the MCT ketogenic diet may be active in seizure control.
