Edaravone is a molecule used to treat stroke and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
The mechanism of action is not fully understood, but it is known to act as an antioxidant, potentially reducing oxidative stress, which is implicated in neuron damage in ALS and stroke.
Clinical trials have shown mixed results, with some studies suggesting benefits in early-stage ALS patients. The drug is also being investigated for long-term safety and efficacy.
