Gene Information
General description
Effective therapy for partial seizures in adults and childhood seizures in Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.
Application
Rufinamide has been used to test its analgesic effect on neuropathic pain in spared nerve injury (SNI) model.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Broad-spectrum anticonvulsant.
Rufinamide may elicit inhibition of the sodium channels and block action potential generation. This property makes it an antiepileptic drug for treating epilepsy disorders like Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

Rufinamide (1-[2,6-difluorobenzyl]-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxamide) is a new anti-epileptic drug with a novel triazole derivative structure. The suspected mechanism of action is limitation of sodium-dependent action potentials, thought to result in a membrane stabilizing effect. Rufinamide is extensively metabolized in the liver by
