DESCRIPTION
Gabapentin is a white to off-white crystalline powder. It is freely
soluble in water and both
basic and acidic aqueous solutions.
It has values for LogP of -1.10, and values for pKa of
3.68 and 10.70.
Gabapentin MLabs tablets also contain the following inactive
ingredients: hyprolose,
magnesium stearate and Opadry white YS-1-18111 (ARPING No.
3289).
PHARMACOLOGY
PHARMACODYNAMICS
The mechanism by which gabapentin exerts its anticonvulsant action is
unknown.
Gabapentin is structurally related to the neurotransmitter GABA
(gamma-aminobutyric acid)
but its mechanism of action is different from that of several other
drugs that interact with
GABA synapses including valproate, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, GABA
transaminase
inhibitors, GABA uptake inhibitors, GABA agonists, and GABA prodrugs.
_In vitro _
studies
with radiolabelled gabapentin have characterised a novel peptide
binding site in rat brain
tissues including neocortex and hippocampus that may relate to
anticonvulsant activity of
gabapentin and its structural derivatives. However, the identification
and function of the
gabapentin
binding
site
remains
to
be
elucidated.
Gabapentin
at
relevant
clinical
concentrations does not bind to other common drug or neurotransmitter
receptors of the brain
including GABA
A
, GABA
B
, benzodiazepine, glutamate, glycine or
_N_
-methyl-d-aspartate
receptors.
Gabapentin does not interact with sodium channels
_in vitro_
and so differs from phenytoin and
carbamazepine. Several test systems ordinarily used to assess activity
at the NMDA receptor
complex have been examined. Results are contradictory. Accordingly no
