EF-1502 is a GABA reuptake inhibitor. It could potentially be used to treat seizures.
Mechanism of action
[edit]EF-1502 has been shown to inhibit the type 1 GABA transporter (GAT1)[1] and the Sodium and chloride-dependent betaine transporter (BGT-1).[2]
Potential use
[edit]Tests in mice have shown that this compound possesses and anticonvulsant effect due to its GABA reuptake inhibiting properties.[3][4]
