Cyheptamide was a investigational new drug that was developed by Ayerst Research Laboratories in the 1960s and was evaluated as an anticonvulsant.[1]

Cyheptamide undergoes significant metabolic transformation in both animals and humans, primarily through hydroxylation pathways.[2]

Cyheptamide exhibits moderate acute toxicity in animal models, with species-specific variations in lethal dose values.[3]

SGB-017 has a similar chemical structure and has also been evaluated for its potential use as an anticonvulsant.[4]
