Pharmacology
Pharmacokinetics
While riluzole is typically taken twice-daily and on an empty stomach, troriluzole may offer a potential once-daily dosing with or without food along with greater bioavailability.[2][4]
Research
In 2024, researchers published a study in the Journal of Neurochemistry that reported troriluzole could reverse some early Alzheimer's disease brain changes in mice, reduce harmful glutamate levels, and improve memory and learning abilities.[5][6]
