Riluzole hydrochloride Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

Riluzole is a benzothiazole derivative with anti-excitotoxic effects that acts by blocking the presynaptic release of glutamate, indirectly antagonizing glutamate receptors, and inactivating neuronal voltage-gated Na⁺ channels (ED₅₀ = 2.3 μM). Riluzole suppresses glutamate-induced seizures in rats at an ED₅₀ value of 3.2 mg/kg and displays neuroprotective effects in hypoxic animals at an ED₅₀ value of 4 mg/kg. Formulations containing riluzole have been explored as therapeutics for slowing disease progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Uses

Riluzole is a glutamate release inhibitor. It also induces caspase-dependent apoptosis and suppress cell proliferation in human heptocellular carcinoma. Riluzole is a neuroprotective and a anticancer agent.
