Padsevonil (INN , USAN , JAN ; developmental code name UCB-0942) is a synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A) ligand which is under development for the treatment of epilepsy. [1] [3] [2] It is much more potent than earlier SV2A ligands like levetiracetam and brivaracetam. [2] However, in contrast to its predecessors, padsevonil's chemical structure has been modified such that it is no longer a racetam. [2] In addition, padsevonil also interacts with synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2B (SV2B) and 2C (SV2C). [2] The drug is being developed by UCB. [1] [3] As of November 2023, it is in phase 2 clinical trials. [1] [3]
