Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Ameltolide is a synthetic compound with anticonvulsant properties, originally developed as a potential treatment for epilepsy. It functions primarily by modulating voltage-gated sodium channels, thereby stabilizing neuronal membranes and reducing the hyperexcitability that leads to seizures. Though it showed promise in preclinical models, ameltolide has not progressed to widespread clinical use, and its precise mechanism of action and pharmacological profile remain under further investigation.
