SummaryLevetiracetam, a diminutive molecular entity, has been engineered to hone in on the synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) as a modulation target. This pharmaceutical compound was the fruit of the laborious efforts of UCB SA, and in the month of November in 1999, it was granted its maiden approval. In the realm of medicine, Levetiracetam is widely employed as an anticonvulsant agent for the management of epilepsy. This compound has been known to exhibit anticonvulsant properties by diminishing the frequency and intensity of seizures in patients. Levetiracetam's modulatory effect arises from its binding to the SV2A protein, which assumes a role in the regulation of neurotransmitter release in the brain. Moreover, the favorable side-effect profile of this compound and its marked tolerance by patients make it a frequent choice for the management of epilepsy. |
