GAL-021 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,[1] although secondary mechanisms may also be involved.[2] It was developed by Galleon Pharmaceuticals, and is being tested in clinical trials for potential uses in post-operative care,[3] as well as more generally to counteract the respiratory depression which can be a side effect of opioid analgesic drugs.[4][5][6]
