Overview

SAN2355 is a **selective small molecule activator** of Kv7.2/Kv7.3 potassium channels, developed for the treatment of epilepsy and potentially other neurological disorders. Unlike previous non-selective Kv7 activators such as retigabine and Potiga, SAN2355 precisely targets Kv7.2/Kv7.3 subunits, which are key for seizure suppression, and avoids activation of Kv7.4 and Kv7.5. This selectivity is intended to improve efficacy and reduce adverse effects—such as urinary retention and CNS side effects—that limited the clinical use of earlier Kv7-targeting drugs. SAN2355 uses novel chemistry to avoid safety liabilities linked to the aniline-moiety found in older Kv7 activators. Currently, it is in preclinical development, with plans to enter Phase 1 clinical trials by Q3 2025[1][2][3][5][7][9][10].
