M06310 - Oxcarbazepine

Oxcarbazepine is an anti-epileptic drug that is used for the treatment of partial-onset seizures. Although, the mechanism of action for this drug is unclear, it is said to involve the blockage of voltage-gated sodium channels. As a result, the firing of the action potentials which lead to seizures are reduced and so seizure activity is inhibited. Oxcarbazepine is part of our Bio-X ™ Range. These products are aimed at life science researchers who need high quality ready-to-use products for assay development, screening or other R&D work. With a solubility datasheet and convenient vials, all of our Bio-X ™ products are in stock across our global warehouses for rapid delivery and ease of use.
