Overview

ACT‑709478 (apinocaltamide) is a potent, selective, orally available and brain penetrating T-type calcium channel blocker in development for epilepsy, including rare pediatric epilepsies. It acts as an anticonvulsant by inhibiting T-type calcium channels. Midazolam is a short‑acting benzodiazepine used for its sedative, anxiolytic, muscle relaxant, anticonvulsant and amnesic properties; it enhances the inhibitory action of gamma‑aminobutyric acid (GABA) at GABA-A receptors. The combination has been studied to assess drug-drug interactions in healthy subjects[3][6][8][1].
