10,11-dihydro-10-hydroxy Carbamazepinee is the active metabolite of oxcarbazepine . Oxcarbazepine is rapidly and almost completely converted to 10,11-dihydro-10-hydroxycarbamazepine, which then demonstrates anticonvulsant efficacy by modulating several ion channels and receptors. ?10,11-dihydro-10-hydroxy Carbamazepine is reported to inhibit both voltage-gated Na+ and Ca2+ channels, to potentiate voltage-gated K+ channels, to antagonize adenosine A1 receptors, to increase dopaminergic transmission, and to inhibit glutamate release.

ChEBI: A dibenzoazepine that is 5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine, reduced across the C-10,11 positions and carrying a carbamoyl substituent at the azepine nitrogen and a hydroxy function at C-10. A voltage-gated sodium channel b
ocker with anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing effects, it is related to oxcarbazepine and is an active metabolite of oxcarbazepine.
