PHARMACOLOGY (SUMMARY OF PHARMACODYNAMICS AND
PHARMACOKINETICS):
PHARMACODYNAMICS
Pharmacotherapeutic group: antiepileptics, other antiepileptics. The
active
substance, levetiracetam, is a pyrrolidone derivative (S-enantiomer of
α
-
ethyl-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidine
acetamide),
chemically
unrelated
to
existing
antiepileptic active substances.
PHARMACOKINETICS
Levetiracetam
is
a
highly
soluble
and
permeable
compound.
The
pharmacokinetic profile is linear with low intra- and inter-subject
variability.
There is no modification of the clearance after repeated
administration.
ABSORPTION
Levetiracetam is rapidly absorbed after oral administration. Oral
absolute
bioavailability is close to 100 %. Peak plasma concentrations (C
max
) are
achieved at 1.3 hours after dosing. Steady-state is achieved after two
days of
a twice daily administration schedule. The extent of absorption is
dose-
independent and is not altered by food.
DISTRIBUTION
Neither levetiracetam nor its primary metabolite are significantly
bound to
plasma proteins (< 10 %).
METABOLISM
Levetiracetam
is
not
extensively
metabolized
in
humans.
The
major
metabolic pathway (24 % of the dose) is an enzymatic hydrolysis of the
acetamide group. Production of the primary metabolite, UCB L057, is
not
supported by liver cytochrome P
450
isoforms. Hydrolysis of the acetamide
group was measurable in a large number of tissues including b
