Eslicarbazepine acetate (BIA 2-093) is an antiepileptic agent that functions as a dual inhibitor of β-Secretase and voltage-gated sodium channels. It is a prodrug that is converted to eslicarbazepine, an active metabolite of oxcarbazepine, sharing an identical mechanism of action. This compound may offer improved tolerability compared to oxcarbazepine by not producing as high peak levels of (S)-(+)-licarbazepine immediately after dosing.
