Eslicarbazepine (acetate) NLT 98%

Eslicarbazepine acetate, an antiepileptic drug, is a dual a dual Inhibitor of β-Secretase and voltage-gated sodium channel. In Vivo: Eslicarbazepine acetate is an antiepileptic drug. It is a prodrug which is activated to eslicarbazepine (S-licarbazepine), an active metabolite of oxcarbazepine. Eslicarbazepine acetate is a prodrug for (S)-(+)-licarbazepine, the major active metabolite of oxcarbazepine. Its mechanism of action is therefore identical to that of oxcarbazepine. Eslicarbazepine acetate may not produce as high peak levels of (S)-(+)-licarbazepine immediately after dosing as does oxcarbazepine which could theoretically improve tolerability^[1].
