About Radiprodil:

Radiprodil is an investigational, selective and potent negative allosteric modulator of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subtype 2B (NR2B or GluN2B). In nonclinical studies, radiprodil has been shown to potently and selectively modulate the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subtype 2B (NR2B or GluN2B). Radiprodil has also demonstrated an antiseizure effect in a number of in vitro and in vivo preclinical seizure and epilepsy models and specifically in models characterized by an enhanced GluN2B-NMDA transmission, which can occur with gain of function (GoF) mutations in GRIN-related disorders.
