Identification
Name Phenacemide
Accession Number DB01121 (APRD00089)
Type small molecule
Description Phenacemide is used to control certain seizures in the treatment of epilepsy. This medicine acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to reduce the number and severity of seizures.
Structure
Categories (*)
Molecular Weight 178.1879
Groups approved
Monoisotopic Weight 178.074227574
Pharmacology
Indication Used to control certain seizures in the treatment of epilepsy.
Mechanism of action Phenacemide binds to and blocks neuronal sodium channels or voltage sensitive calcium channels. This blocks or suppresses neuronal depolarization and hypersynchronization. Hypersynchronization is what often causes seizures.
Absorption Almost completely absorbed.
Protein binding Not Available
Biotransformation Metabolized in the liver by hepatic microsomal enzymes, where it is inactivated by p-hydroxylation.
Route of elimination Not Available
Toxicity Oral, mouse: LD50 = 987 mg/kg; Oral, rabbit: LD50 = 2500 mg/kg; Oral, rat: LD50 = 1600 mg/kg
Affected organisms
  • Humans and other mammals
