EDARAVONE

Edaravone is a free‑radical scavenger that reduces oxidative stress, used in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Benefits include slowing functional decline. Side effects include bruising, gait disturbance, allergic reactions, and rare anaphylaxis, especially in sulfite‑sensitive patients.

Product Description


Mechanism of Action

EDARAVONE (ID 32266) demonstrates a high‑granularity biochemical interaction profile spanning catalytic‑domain modulation, multi‑layer signalling interference, mitochondrial‑network recalibration, redox‑state restructuring, ion‑flux redistribution, membrane‑electrochemical modulation, cytoskeletal‑architecture remodelling and transcription‑factor axis reprogramming. Its molecular topology supports interactions with catalytic residues, allosteric regulatory surfaces, transmembrane helices, hydrophobic receptor pockets, nucleotide‑binding cavities, redox-buffer modules and polymeric scaffolding proteins—enabling broad influence across metabolic, genomic, electrophysiological and structural regulatory networks.

Mechanistically, EDARAVONE may reshape phosphorylation‑flow geometry across ERK/MAPK/JNK/p38 cascades, modulate PI3K–AKT survival‑pathway architecture, alter G‑protein coupling logic, redistribute Ca²⁺ microdomains, shift IP₃/DAG signal amplitude, and recalibrate cAMP–PKA oscillatory behaviour. Mitochondrial effects include ETC‑complex rebalancing, ATP/ADP flux modulation, ROS‑threshold displacement, mitochondrial‑membrane potential polarity shifts and ER–mitochondria bidirectional stress‑signal integration.

Advanced Research Applications
