Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Agents - Anti-glutamatergics is a compendial and clinical drug classification comprising neuroprotective medications specifically indicated to slow disease progression in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
The principal agent in this class, riluzole, exerts anti-glutamatergic activity by inhibiting presynaptic glutamate release, inactivating voltage-dependent sodium channels, and modulating post-synaptic glutamate receptor signaling to attenuate glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity and motor neuron injury.
Therapeutically, these agents are utilized to extend tracheostomy-free survival and delay ventilatory dependence in individuals diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
