TROX-1

Unlike ziconotide, TROX-1 is not so selective, and also blocks the intrathecally, by injection into the spinal fluid.


Seletracetam

The dual effect of seletracetam is an overall decrease in the amount of action potential due to binding at N-type channels, which prevents over-excitation of the neuron, as well as a decrease in neurotransmitter release as a product of cellular excitation due to the interaction of the drug with SV2A, which reduces the spread of excitation to nearby cells.

TROX-1

It was developed as a potential analgesic after the discovery that the selective ziconotide is an active analgesic with similar efficacy to strong opioid drugs but comparatively milder side effects.
