ALX-1393 is a glycine reuptake inhibitor.

Pharmacodynamics

ALX-1393 works by inhibiting the action of GLYT2. [2] This causes elevated levels of glycine, an inhibitory neurotransmitter.

Contents

Potential uses

ALX-1393 has been shown to have potential as an analgesic. This is thought to be due to the elevated glycine levels reducing the transmission of the pain signals. [3]

Tests have shown that it was able to help reduce cancer pain in a potent way. [4]
