BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to certain novel 5-phenyl-2-furan ketones useful as antiepileptic agents.
Antiepileptic agents are used to treat seizure disorders. Approximately 2.5 million of all Americans have epilepsy. Epilepsy often begins in childhood, with three quarters of
FIELD
The present application relates to novel compounds comprising a moiety that leads to the metabolic production of ketones bonded to a ketone-potentiated anti-epileptic drug, compositions comprising these compounds, and their use, for example for the treatment of epilepsy, seizures, and/or other
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is generally in the field of nutritional and therapeutic compositions for the modulation of ketone levels in humans and other mammals.
There are a number of conditions in human and animals in which it is desirable to increase the levels of ketone
