Convulsions due to systemic toxicity are a major and frequently fatal side effect of theophylline. The cause of theophylline-induced convulsions is not clear, but antagonism of the inhibitory nervous system may be implicated. so we examined the effects of theophylline on GABA-induced currents using recombinant GABA(A) receptor (GABA(A)-R). Theophylline dose-dependently inhibited GABA-induced currents: the IC50 value was 1841 +/- 63 muM and Hill coefficient 1.09 +/- 0.03. The inhibitory action of theophylline on GABA-induced currents was competitive and voltage dependent. The inhibition of GABA-induced currents by theophylline may be a primary mechanism underlying theophylline-induced convulsions. NeuroReport 12:489-493 (C) 2001 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
