BTS 72664 is a broad-spectrum, non-sedating, orally effective anticonvulsant. Its anticonvulsant effect mainly arises from enhancing GABAA receptor (GABAA receptor)-mediated chloride channel currents, while it exerts weak blocking effects on Na+ channels (Ki = 350 μM) and NMDA receptors (NMDA receptor) (IC50 = 43 μM). BTS 72664 prevents the elevation of extracellular glutamate, glycine and serine concentrations in neurons, reduces cerebral infarct size, promotes functional recovery, prevents multiple types of epileptic seizures, and has low sedative potential. BTS 72664 can be used for the research of epilepsy, stroke and migraine.
