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]
