Identification
Common NamePhenacemide
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionPhenacemide is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is used to control certain seizures in the treatment of epilepsy. This medicine acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to reduce the number and severity of seizures.Phenacemide binds to and blocks neuronal sodium channels or voltage sensitive calcium channels. This blocks or suppresses neuronal depolarization and hypersynchronization. Hypersynchronization is what often causes seizures.

Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureAlmost completely absorbed.
Mechanism of ToxicityPhenacemide binds to and blocks neuronal sodium channels or voltage sensitive calcium channels. This blocks or suppresses neuronal depolarization and hypersynchronization. Hypersynchronization is what often causes seizures.
MetabolismMetabolized in the liver by hepatic microsomal enzymes, where it is inactivated by p-hydroxylation. Half Life: 22-25 hours.
Toxicity ValuesLD50: 987 mg/kg (Oral, Mouse) (3) LD50: 2500 mg/kg (Oral, Rabbit) (3) LD50: 1600 mg/kg (Oral, Rat) (3)
Lethal DoseNot Available

Targets

General Function:
Voltage-gated sodium channel activity
Specific Function:
Mediates the voltage-dependent sodium ion permeability of excitable membranes. Assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane, the protein forms a sodium-selective channel through which Na(+) ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient.
Gene Name:
SCN1A
