Synaptic vesicle protein 2 (SV2A, SV2B, SV2C) and GABA A receptors. Padsevonil is a first-in-class investigational small molecule that uniquely combines high-affinity binding to all three SV2 isoforms (SV2A, SV2B, SV2C) with GABA A receptor modulation. SV2A is the target of the antiepileptic drug levetiracetam, and its modulation is thought to reduce neurotransmitter release and synaptic excitability. GABA A receptors are the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the brain, and their positive modulation enhances inhibitory neurotransmission, reducing neuronal excitability. By combining these two mechanisms, Padsevonil offers a novel approach to epilepsy treatment that may provide enhanced efficacy and a broader spectrum of activity compared to existing antiepileptic drugs. The compound also functions as a pre- and post-synaptic inhibitor, further reducing synaptic excitability. Padsevonil is being developed for the treatment of drug-refractory epilepsy and partial-onset seizures.

| ln Vitro |
Padsevonil is a first-in-class antiepileptic agent that uniquely combines high-affinity binding to all three SV2 isoforms (SV2A, SV2B, SV2C) with GABA A receptor modulation. The compound's dual mechanism of action distinguishes it from other antiepileptic drugs and may provide enhanced efficacy and a broader spectrum of activity. By binding to SV2 proteins, Padsevonil reduces neurotransmitter release and synaptic excitability. By modulating GABA A receptors, the compound enhances inhibitory neurotransmission. Padsevonil also functions as a pre- and post-synaptic inhibitor, further reducing synaptic excitability. The compound has been evaluated in preclinical studies for its antiepileptic activity and has shown promising results. Padsevonil has completed Phase 2 clinical trials for epilepsy.

| ln Vivo |
Padsevonil has been evaluated in vivo in animal models of epilepsy and in clinical trials. The compound is an orally administered small molecule that has shown antiepileptic activity in preclinical models. Padsevonil uniquely combines high-affinity binding to all three SV2 isoforms with GABA A receptor modulation, providing a novel mechanism of action for epilepsy treatment. The compound has completed Phase 2 clinical trials for drug-refractory epilepsy and partial-onset seizures. Clinical studies have assessed the compound's safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy in patients with epilepsy. Detailed clinical trial data are available from published studies. Padsevonil is for research use only and is not for human therapeutic use.

| Enzyme Assay |
SV2 binding assays are performed using membranes prepared from cells expressing recombinant SV2A, SV2B, or SV2C. Radioligand binding studies use [³H]-levetiracetam or other SV2 ligands. Membrane preparations are incubated with varying concentrations of Padsevonil and a fixed concentration of radioligand in binding buffer for 60-120 minutes at room temperature. Non-specific binding is determined using excess unlabeled levetiracetam. Bound radioactivity is measured by scintillation counting after filtration through GF/B filters. IC50 and Ki values are calculated by non-linear regression. GABA A receptor modulation is assessed by measuring GABA-induced chloride currents in cells expressing recombinant GABA A receptors using patch-clamp electrophysiology or by measuring GABA-mediated effects in brain slices.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular SV2 binding and GABA A receptor modulation are evaluated in cell lines expressing recombinant SV2 proteins or GABA A receptors. Cells are cultured in appropriate media at 37°C with 5% CO₂ and treated with Padsevonil at various concentrations. SV2 binding is assessed using radioligand binding assays. GABA A receptor modulation is assessed by measuring GABA-induced chloride influx using fluorescent chloride indicators (e.g., MQAE) or by patch-clamp electrophysiology. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or LDH assays. Each experiment includes vehicle controls (DMSO) and appropriate positive controls (e.g., levetiracetam for SV2 binding, diazepam for GABA A modulation).
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo efficacy of Padsevonil is evaluated in animal models of epilepsy, such as the maximal electroshock seizure test, pentylenetetrazole-induced seizure model, and kindling models. The compound is administered orally or intraperitoneally at doses determined by preclinical studies. Seizure activity is monitored by behavioral observation and EEG recordings. The compound's ability to prevent or reduce seizure activity is assessed. Pharmacokinetic parameters are assessed in parallel. Clinical trials have been conducted for drug-refractory epilepsy and partial-onset seizures. In Phase 2 trials, the compound's efficacy, safety, and tolerability were evaluated in patients with epilepsy. Sample sizes in clinical trials typically range from 50-200 patients per group.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.78 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
