- Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathic Pain (DPNP)
- Postherpetic Neuralgia (PHN)
- Peripheral Neuropathic Pain (PNP)
Mirogabalin is a derivative of gamma-amino acids that selectively binds to the α2δ subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs). This binding reduces calcium influx at presynaptic terminals, thereby suppressing neurotransmitter release and decreasing hyperexcitability of central nervous system (CNS) neurons.
Absorption: Rapidly absorbed; peak plasma concentration within 0.5–1.5 hours.
Distribution: Volume of distribution: 64–88 L; plasma protein binding ~25%.
Metabolism: Mainly excreted unchanged by the kidneys (61–72%). A minor portion (13–20%) undergoes metabolism via UGT isoforms.
Elimination: Half-life 2–4.9 hours. About 99% is eliminated through urine; ~1% via feces.
