Product Information
Riluzole AI Summary
Riluzole exhibits a diverse range of bioactivities, indicating potential therapeutic applications across multiple domains. It functions as a sodium channel blocker with an IC50 of 4730 nM and a voltage-gated Ca2+ channel blocker in rat brain synaptosomes with an IC50 of 0.0 nM, showing potent inhibition of K+-evoked and veratridine-induced glutamate release. Additionally, Riluzole protects against seizures and has neuroprotective activity, demonstrated by efficacy in rat models of glutamate-induced convulsions (ED50 of 3.2 mg/kg) and focal stroke (effective at 4.0 mg/kg and 30.0 mg/kg). The compound shows considerable metabolic stability, liver enzyme modulation, and potential for therapeutic applications in neuroprotection and stroke. It has a partition coefficient (logD7.4) of 3.43, high plasma protein binding of 97.13%, and demonstrates moderate lipophilicity (LogP 3.2). Additionally, it interferes with various cellular processes, including mitochondrial function, NFkB signaling, and Lamin A splicing, and inhibits several enzymes like BSEP (IC50 139000 nM) and human UGT1A1. In terms of antibacterial and antifungal activity, Riluzole shows efficacy against Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, and several Candida species. It also demonstrates antivirals by inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 3CL-Pro protease and virus-induced cytotoxicity in VERO-6 cells. Moreover, Riluzole has cytotoxic effects in some cell lines but displays neuroprotective properties against excitotoxic and oxidative stress in neuronal cells. Its high aqueous solubility, moderate passive permeability, and good liver microsomal stability underscore its potential as a drug candidate. Overall, Riluzole’s broad bioactivity profile underscores its potential for therapeutic development in treating neurological disorders, infectious diseases, and metabolic conditions..
