Bioactivity | Evenamide (NW-3509) is an orally available voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) blocker (Ki=0.4 µM) for the research of schizophrenia. Evenamide shows efficacy in a broad spectrum of rodent models of psychosis, mania, depression, and aggressiveness[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
Target | Sodium channel | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Evenamide selectively blocks voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) in a voltage-and use-dependent manner (Ki=0.4 µM) and modulates sustained repetitive firing without inducing impairment of the normal neuronal excitability. Evenamide does not bind, inhibit or interact with over 130 receptors, enzymes, or transporters[2]. | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | Evenamide is active in a wide range of psychiatric animal models in monotherapy and addon to antipsychotics. Evenamide is effective in attenuating the social interaction deficit in Cl 395 (PCP)-impaired rats (MED=1 mg/kg po)[2]. | ||||||||||||
