摘要

Fenfluramine hydrochloride, initially utilized as a weight loss drug in the 1970s and later removed from the market for adverse cardiopulmonary side effects, has since been repurposed as an antiseizure medicine (ASM). The potential antiseizure effects of fenfluramine were first identified in patients with photosensitive epilepsy in the 1980s but it was not rigorously explored as a treatment option until 30 years later. Compared with other ASMs, fenfluramine offers a novel mechanism by acting on serotonin and sigma 1 receptors, demonstrated in vitro and in vivo in animal models of Dravet syndrome. Results from a large double-blind, placebo-controlled trial demonstrated robust efficacy for seizure reduction in patients with Dravet syndrome, and met its primary endpoint with the 0.7 mg/kg/day fenfluramine treatment group experiencing a 62.3% or greater reduction in mean monthly convulsive seizure frequency (MCSF) compared with placebo. Here we provide a comprehensive review of the preclinical and clinical activity of fenfluramine, a recently approved drug for treatment of epilepsy in patients with Dravet syndrome.
