Flupirtine maleate is a non-opioid, centrally acting analgesic that functions mainly as a selective neuronal K_V7 (KCNQ) potassium channel opener, producing analgesic and muscle-relaxant effects through neuronal membrane stabilization. It also exhibits mild NMDA receptor modulation and anti-inflammatory properties, offering potent pain relief without the respiratory depression or opioid-related side effects. Its therapeutic use is listed as analgesics and muscle relaxants. The directory classifies it as a discontinued API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Katadolon and Effirma. Its PubChem CID is 6435335.
