Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Troriluzole (BHV-4157) is a prodrug of the voltage-dependent calcium channel blocker riluzole. Chemically it is riluzole conjugated to a tripeptide carrier (IUPAC sequence H-Gly-Gly-Sar-Unk, where Unk = the riluzole component), and the active moiety is released by peptidases in vivo. The prodrug is more stable than riluzole and is suitable for once-daily dosing. Riluzole also blocks the release of glutamate from cells, thereby reducing extracellular glutamate availability to signal though mGluR1 [1].
