1.	Seizures (Absence Seizure) 12/01/1999 - "Recently, epi-inositol, an unnatural stereoisomer of myo-inositol, was found to have effects similar to those of myo-inositol to reverse lithium-pilocarpine seizures. " 07/01/1998 - "Recently, epi-inositol, an unnatural stereoisomer of myo-inositol that is not a substrate for PI synthase, was found to also have effects similar to those of myoinositol to reverse lithium-pilocarpine seizures. " 05/01/1996 - "A comparison of the ability of myo-inositol and epi-inositol to attenuate lithium-pilocarpine seizures in rats." 07/10/1995 - "Epi-inositol also blocked seizures under both conditions but it was less effective than myo-inositol after treatment with acute lithium plus pilocarpine. "
2.	Mood Disorders (Mood Disorder) 12/01/1999 - "Epi-inositol and inositol depletion: two new treatment approaches in affective disorder." 09/01/1998 - "The inositol depletion hypothesis of lithium (Li) action has been criticized, because depletion of inositol after chronic Li treatment has not been reproducible, effects of inositol to reverse Li-induced behaviors occurred also with epi-inositol, a unnatural isomer, and because inositol is ubiquitous in brain and hard to relate to the pathogenesis of affective disorder.
