Abstract excerpt
NBI-921352 (formerly XEN901) is a novel sodium channel inhibitor designed to specifically target Na V 1.6 channels. Such a molecule provides a precision-medicine approach to target SCN8A -related epilepsy syndromes ( SCN8A -RES), where gain-of-function (GoF) mutations lead to excess Na V 1.6 sodium current, or other indications where Na V 1.6 mediated hyper-excitability contributes to disease (Gardella and Mo...
