Relationships

NOTE: predicates are annotated in Biolink Model (v1.3.0)

Subject Predicate Object
Brivaracetam NEGATIVELY REGULATES Synaptic Vesicle Glycoprotein 2A
Brivaracetam NEGATIVELY REGULATES Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel Activity
Synaptic Vesicle Glycoprotein 2A PARTICIPATES IN Neurotransmitter Secretion
Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel Activity POSITIVELY CORRELATED WITH Seizure
Neurotransmitter Secretion CORRELATED WITH Partial Seizure
Seizure MANIFESTATION OF Partial Seizure

Comment: The precise mechanism of brivaracetam’s anti-epileptogenic activity is unknown. It is thought that brivaracetam binds to SV2A and causes the reduction in the rate of vesicle release including release of excitatory neurotransmitters.
