Avizafone
Avizafone (Pro-diazepam), a pro-drug of Diazepam, is an anticonvulsant agent. Avizafone can be used as an antidote of nerve agent poisoning. In vivo, Avizafone is rapidly hydrolyzed by aminopeptidase to produce lysine and diazepam. Avizafone has research areas including neurological disease, such as epilepsy.
