Abstract
Copper-dependent enzymes are required for normal brain development and function. Copper deficiency can result in pathological disorders accompanied by convulsive seizures or tremors in man and animals. The present invention is directed to a method for treating convulsions or epilepsy comprising administration of a therapeutically effective amount of an organic compound of copper having anticonvulsant activity. Those compounds include copper complexes of carboxylic acids, acylsalicylates, salicylates, amino acids, imines and known anticonvulsant and antiepileptic drugs.
