- Postherpetic Neuralgia (PHN)
- Peripheral Neuropathic Pain (PNP)
Mirogabalin, a derivative of gamma-amino acids, selectively binds to the α2δ subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs). Reducing calcium influx into presynaptic neurons suppresses neurotransmitter release and decreases CNS hyperexcitability.
- Absorption: Rapid, peak plasma levels within 0.5–1.5 hrs
- Protein Binding: ~25% (low)
- Distribution: 64–88 L
- Metabolism: Mostly unchanged via renal excretion; 13–20% by UGT enzymes
- Elimination Half-life: 2–4.9 hrs
- Excretion: ~99% through urine
