Drug Overview
Mirogabalin (Daiichi Sankyo) is an oral therapy that preferentially and selectively binds to the α2δ-1 (alpha-2 delta-1) subunit of calcium channels widely found in the nervous system in areas that mediate pain transmission and processing. Ligands for the α2δ-subunit (α2δ-1 and α2δ-2) are thought to exert analgesic effects by reducing Ca2+ influx into neurons throughout the central nervous system via a mechanism not yet fully elucidated. It is hypothesized that a reduction in Ca2+ influx results in a decreased release of excitatory neurotransmitters such as glutamate, norepinephrine, and substance P, which have been implicated in animal models of induced neuropathic pain.
