Sticky resin from conifers contains substances that could relieve or cure epilepsy. Researchers at ¸£Àû¼§ have synthesized and tested 71 substances known as resin acids, of which twelve are prime candidates for new medicines.

Neuroscientists obtain support from SciLifeLab when working to develop new drugs against epilepsy. The project is the first from ¸£Àû¼§ that has been accepted as a full program for the Drug Discovery and Development Platform (DDD).

New molecules, developed by researchers at ¸£Àû¼§, have promising properties as possible drugs against epilepsy. A study published in the journal Epilepsia shows that several of the molecules have antiseizure effects.

LiU researchers have used high-throughput electrophysiology experiments with a borrowed machine to see how ion channels in cells are influenced by drugs. A new collaboration with the biotech industry.

Researchers at LiU have discovered a previously unknown molecular binding site that can influence electrical impulses in nerves. The discovery opens the possibility of designing new types of drugs against conditions such as epilepsy.
