Biochem/physiol Actions

Remacemide HCl is a low affinity NMDA antagonist with anticonvulsant properties. Remacemide also been shown to block voltage-dependent sodium channels.
Remacemide possesses neuroprotective and anti-epileptic actions. It supports reducing the frequency of seizures. Remacemide is also known to be a potential therapeutic for Huntington′s disease.

Remacemide hydrochloride (RMD) is a putative anticonvulsant agent with an active metabolite, desglycinyl-remacemide (DGR) and a broad spectrum of activity in experimental seizure models. In clinical trials, however, the efficacy of RMD is questionable. In the case of add-on studies

In the present study, we investigated the cellular and synaptic mechanisms underlying the neuroprotective action of lamotrigine and remacemide. Both drugs, in fact, have been reported to exert a neuroprotective action in in vivo animal models of ischemia. To address

An international trial comparing remacemide hydrochloride with carbamazepine was undertaken in individuals with newly diagnosed epilepsy using a novel double-blind, parallel-group, double triangular sequential design. Patients with two or more partial or generalized tonic-clonic seizures in the previous year were
