Levetiracetam acid

Description:

Levetiracetam acid, identified by the CAS number 103833-72-3, is a chemical compound related to the antiepileptic drug levetiracetam, which is primarily used in the treatment of epilepsy. This substance is characterized by its structural features, including a pyrrolidine ring and a carbonyl group, which contribute to its biological activity. Levetiracetam acid is known for its ability to modulate neurotransmitter release and has been studied for its potential neuroprotective effects. It is typically a white to off-white solid, soluble in water, and exhibits stability under standard conditions. The compound's pharmacological profile includes a favorable safety margin and a low potential for drug interactions, making it a valuable option in managing seizure disorders. Additionally, its mechanism of action involves binding to the synaptic vesicle protein 2A, which plays a crucial role in neurotransmitter release. Overall, levetiracetam acid represents an important compound in the field of neurology, with ongoing research into its broader therapeutic applications.
