1. Product description:
Phenytoin is an anticonvulsant that is used to treat a wide variety of seizures. It is also an anti-arrhythmic and a muscle relaxant.
Phenytoin has been proposed for several other therapeutic uses, but its use has been limited by its many adverse effects and
interactions with other drugs.

7. Bioactivity
Biological target:
Phenytoin (5,5-Diphenylhydantoin) is a potent Voltage-gated Na+ channels (VGSCs) blocker.
In vitro activity
Accordingly, this study aimed to compare the effect of phenytoin on the growth rate of gingival fibroblast cells and PDL in the cell
culture medium. In the experimental group, 20 mg/ml phenytoin dissolved in sodium hydroxide was added to Dulbecco's modified
Eagle's medium (DMEM). After 48 hours, fibroblast cell proliferation was assessed through a 1-WST cell proliferation kit by ELISA.
The proliferation of gingival fibroblast cells and PDL in both test and control groups were statistically analyzed by the independent ttest. The results showed that the effect of phenytoin on the proliferation of gingival fibroblast cells and PDL fibroblast cells is
significant. Also, the proliferation of PDL cells was significantly different from gingival cells in the experimental group (P <0.001)
and was higher in PDL cells.

In vivo activity
This study aimed to evaluate whether phenytoin promotes myelin recovery of the corpus callosum of demyelinated adult mice. The
oligodendroglial lineage (Olig2 + cells, NG2 + cells, and RIP + cells) significantly increases by the phenytoin administration when
compared to the control-vehicle group. The phenytoin-treated group also showed an increased expression of MBP in the corpus
callosum and better functional scores in the horizontal bar test. These findings suggest that phenytoin stimulates the proliferation of
OPCs, re-establishes the oligodendroglial population, promotes myelin recovery in the corpus callosum, and improves motor
coordination and muscle strength.
