MLI-2 and Epilepsy

Many new first-in-class drugs for neuroscience indications have been introduced in the past decade including new treatments for migraine, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, depression, and multiple sclerosis. However, significant unmet patient needs remain in areas such as chronic pain, neurodegeneration, psychiatric diseases, and epilepsy. This review summarizes some of the advanced clinical compounds for these indications. Additionally, current opportunities and challenges that remain with respect to genetic validation, biomarkers, and translational models are discussed.
