Talampanel (

amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).[4]

As of May 2010, results from the trial for ALS have been found negative.[5] Talampanel is not currently under development.

Talampanel acts as a

non-competitive antagonist of the AMPA receptor, a type of ionotropic glutamate receptor in the central nervous system.[6]

It showed effectiveness for epilepsy in clinical trials but its development was suspended due to its poor

terminal half-life (3 hours) that necessitated multiple doses per day.[7]
