• SSR504734 enhanced the antiseizure effects of all tested drugs, except ethosuximide. • Changes in serum and/or brain concentrations of antiseizure drugs and/or SSR504734 were reported, indicating potential pharmacokinetic interactions. • Interaction between SSR504734 and levetiracetam was purely pharmacodynamic. • SSR504734 at higher doses, alone or in combination with antiseizure drugs, caused adverse effects. • Further studies are needed to assess other GlyT1 inhibitors, with better safety, alone or as an add-on therapy for epilepsy.
