๐Ÿ”ฌ Pharmacology (PK/PD)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionAbsorbed from the small intestine via L-amino acid transport system; oral bioavailability decreases with increasing doses.
DistributionDistributes widely; crosses blood-brain barrier; volume of distribution ~0.8 L/kg.
Protein Binding<3%
MetabolismNot significantly metabolized in humans; no hepatic metabolism.
Half-Life5-7 hours (normal renal function); prolonged in renal impairment.
ExcretionRenal excretion as unchanged drug (90-100%); eliminated by glomerular filtration.
Bioavailability~60% (decreases with dose; 900 mg/day ~60%, 1200 mg/day ~47%, 2400 mg/day ~34%, 3600 mg/day ~33%).
Onset of Action1-2 hours (for analgesic effect); may take weeks for anticonvulsant effect.
Peak Plasma Time2-3 hours
Duration of Action6-8 hours

How It Works

Binds to alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels, reducing calcium influx and neurotransmitter release (e.g., glutamate, norepinephrine, substance P).

Mechanism Steps

1Gabapentin binds to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC) in the central nervous system.
2Binding reduces the trafficking of VGCC to the cell membrane and decreases calcium influx.
3Reduced calcium influx inhibits the release of excitatory neurotransmitters such as glutamate, norepinephrine, and substance P.
