Rufinamide (1-[2,6-difluorobenzyl]-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxamide) is a new anti-epileptic drug with a novel triazole derivative structure. The suspected mechanism of action is limitation of sodium-dependent action potentials, thought to result in a membrane stabilizing effect. Rufinamide is extensively metabolized in the liver by
