ENA-001 (formerly GAL-021)[1] is a drug related to almitrine which acts as a respiratory stimulant, with its mechanism of action primarily thought to involve blocking the BKCa potassium channel,[2] although secondary mechanisms may also be involved.[3] It was developed by Galleon Pharmaceuticals, and is being tested in clinical trials for potential uses in post-operative care,[4] as well as more generally to counteract the respiratory depression which can be a side effect of opioid analgesic drugs.[5][6][7]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
