Levetiracetam is an antiepileptic which displays distinctive properties from conventional antiepileptic drμgs. Displays potent seizure protection in animal models of chronic epilepsy but lacks activity in acute seizure models. Binds synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) and inhibits Na+-dependent Cl-/HCO3- exchange.A compound which inhibits burst firing without affecting normal neuronal excitability Levetiracetam is an antiepileptic which displays distinctive properties from conventional antiepileptic drugs.
