Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21686305; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=22221318

Ezogabine (U.S. adopted name) or retigabine (international nonproprietary name) is one of a family of aminopyrroles with anticonvulsant activity. It is used as an adjunctive treatment for partial epilepsies in treatment-experienced adult patients. The drug was approved by the European Medicines Agency under the trade name Trobalt and by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), under the trade name Potiga. The mechanism by which ezogabine exerts its therapeutic effects has not been fully elucidated. In vitro studies indicate that ezogabine enhances transmembrane potassium currents mediated by the KCNQ (Kv7.2 to 7.5) family of ion channels. By activating KCNQ channels, ezogabine is thought to stabilize the resting membrane potential and reduce brain excitability. This mechanism of action is unique among antiepileptic drugs, and may hold promise for the treatment of other neurologic conditions, including migraine, tinnitus and neuropathic pain. In vitro studies suggest that ezogabine may also exert therapeutic effects through augmentation of GABA-mediated currents.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Ezogabine can cross the blood–brain barrier and is not subject to P-glycoprotein active transport across this barrier, free brain concentrations will closely follow free plasma concentrations.

Approved Use

Indicated as adjunctive treatment of partial-onset seizures in patients aged 18 years and older who have responded inadequately to several alternative treatments and for whom the benefits outweigh the risk of retinal abnormalities and potential decline in visual acuity

Comment: AUC of the acetylated metabolite was higher in subjects with UGT1A1*28 mutation versus subjects with UGT1A1 wildtype. The differences in PK parameters do not warrant dose change recommendations.

Sample Use Guides

Potiga should be given orally in 3 equally divided doses daily, with or without food. The initial dosage should be 100 mg 3 times daily (300 mg per day) and should be increased gradually at weekly intervals by no more than 50 mg 3 times daily (increase in the daily dose of no more than 150 mg per day) up to a maintenance dosage of 200 mg to 400 mg 3 times daily (600 mg to 1,200 mg per day), based on individual patient response and tolerability.
Route of Administration: Oral
KCNQ4 channels, stably expressed in HEK293 cells, were activated by retigabine (ezogabine) in a reversible and concentration-dependent manner in the concentration range 0.1-10 uM. Retigabine shifted the KCNQ4 channel activation curves towards more negative potentials by about 10 mV.
