Efflux dynamics of the antiseizure drug, levetiracetam, through the P-glycoprotein channel revealed by advanced comparative molecular simulations

Abstract Understanding the precise mechanistic details of the possible binding and transport of antiseizure medications (ASMs) through the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux pump is essential to find strategies for the treatment of patients with epilepsy resistant to ASMs. In the present work, conventiona...
