• Descripción: Modafinil is a drug that belongs to the class of wakefulness-promoting agents. It has been shown to have a long half-life and low toxicity in humans, which may be due to its effects on cytochrome P450 isoenzymes. Modafinil has been studied in clinical trials for its tolerability, with no significant side effects reported. The drug has also been shown to have anticonvulsant properties and can be used as an adjunctive treatment for patients with partial seizures. Modafinil binds to the GABA receptor in the brain and increases GABAergic neurotransmission. The compound's mechanism of action is not fully understood, but it is believed that it acts by inhibiting cyclic AMP degradation and increasing cAMP levels in the brain. This increase in cAMP levels may lead to increased protein kinase activity, decreased phosphorylation of glutamate receptors, increased release of dopamine, and decreased release of histamine from mast cells.
