Description: Inhibits glutamate release. Anticonvulsant
Chemical Name: 6-(2,3-Dichlorophenyl)-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-diamine
Purity: ≥99% (HPLC)
Biological Activity for Lamotrigine
Lamotrigine is an anticonvulsant. Inhibits glutamate release, possibly through inhibition of Na+, K+ and Ca2+ currents. Also blocks heterologously expressed and native α4β2 nAChRs with a similar affinity to Na+ channels.
Water-soluble Salt also available.
