Amifampridine (3,4-Diaminopyridine) is primarily used to treat rare muscle diseases. It blocks potassium channel efflux in nerve terminals, increasing action potential duration, which allows Ca2+ channels to remain open longer and enhances acetylcholine release to stimulate muscles at the end plate.

Amifampridine-D3 dihydrochloride is a deuterated compound of Amifampridine dihydrochloride (T4497). Amifampridine 2hydrochloride has a CAS number of 54-96-6. Amifampridine is predominantly in the treatment of a number of rare muscle diseases. Amifampridine works by blocking potassium channel efflux in nerve terminals so that action potential duration is increased. Ca2+ channels can then be open for a longer time and allow greater acetylcholine release to stimulate muscle at the end plate.

Amifampridine is mainly used to treat many rare muscle diseases. In the United States, aminopyridine is being studied for the treatment of Lambert-Eaton myasmus syndrome (LEMS). Amifampridine is also used to treat many congenital myasthenia syndromes, par
