Description

Butyramide, also known as butanamide, is an organic compound with the formula CH3CH2CH2CONH2. It is a white, crystalline solid with a mild, sweet odor. Butyramide is synthesized through the reaction of butyric acid with ammonia. It exhibits anticonvulsant activity and has been studied for its potential therapeutic applications in managing epilepsy and other neurological disorders. Butyramide's anticonvulsant properties are believed to be mediated by its interaction with GABAergic neurotransmission. Research into butyramide's effects on the nervous system continues, aiming to explore its potential as a safe and effective treatment for epilepsy and other neurological conditions.'
