ALX-1393 is a glycine reuptake inhibitor.

Pharmacodynamics[edit]

ALX-1393 works by inhibiting the action of GLYT2.^[2] This causes elevated levels of glycine, an inhibitory neurotransmitter.

Potential uses[edit]

ALX-1393 has been shown to have potential as an analgesic. This is thought to be due to the elevated glycine levels reducing the transmission of the pain signals.^[3]

Tests have shown that it was able to help reduce cancer pain in a potent way.^[4]
