Evenamide

Evenamide (pronounced: /ˈɛvənæmaɪd/) is an investigational antipsychotic drug that is currently being studied for its potential use in the treatment of schizophrenia and psychosis related to neurological disorders.

Etymology

The term "Evenamide" is a coined name, with no known etymology.

Pharmacology

Evenamide is a glutamate release inhibitor. It works by modulating the release of glutamate, a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and psychosis. This mechanism of action is different from that of most currently available antipsychotic drugs, which primarily target the dopamine system.

Clinical Trials

Evenamide has been studied in several clinical trials. Preliminary results suggest that it may be effective in reducing the symptoms of schizophrenia and psychosis, particularly in patients who have not responded to other treatments. However, more research is needed to confirm these findings and to determine the optimal dosing and administration of the drug.
