Talampanel (INN; development codesGYKI 537773 andLY300164) is adrug which has been investigated for the treatment ofepilepsy,[1][2]malignant gliomas,[3] andamyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).[4]
As of May 2010, results from the trial for ALS have been found negative.[5] Talampanel is not currently under development.
Talampanel acts as anon-competitive antagonist of theAMPA receptor, a type ofionotropic glutamate receptor in thecentral nervous system.[6]
It showed effectiveness for epilepsy in clinical trials but its development was suspended due to its poorpharmacokinetic profile, namely a shortterminal half-life (3 hours) that necessitated multiple doses per day.[7]
