Lacosamide

 

Lacosamide was first discovered in 1996 at the University of Houston.

The work was led by Dr. Harold Kohn, Ph.D., a medicinal chemistry researcher at the University of Houston 

 

 

Researchers there hypothesized that modified amino acids might have therapeutic potential for epilepsy and synthesized hundreds of such compounds. 

One of these — originally labeled with codes like ADD 234037/MSP-927 — showed strong anticonvulsant activity in animal models. This compound later became known as lacosamide
