Expert review of neurotherapeutics, 12(5), 509-517 (2012-05-04)
Ezogabine/retigabine (RTG) is a novel antiepileptic compound that activates a voltage-sensitive neuronal-specific outward potassium current that decreases neuronal excitability. RTG has been evaluated in three pivotal placebo-controlled randomized trials as adjunctive therapy in adult drug-resistant partial epilepsy. In comparison to

CNS drugs, 25(10), 887-900 (2011-09-23)
Retigabine (ezogabine in the US) opens neuronal voltage-gated potassium channels, resulting in resting membrane potential stabilization, neuronal subthreshold excitability control and anticonvulsant effects. The clinical efficacy of adjunctive oral retigabine in adults with inadequately controlled, partial-onset seizures was demonstrated in
Carl E Stafstrom et al.
Nature reviews. Drug discovery, 10(10), 729-730 (2011-10-01)
Ezogabine (Potiga; Valeant Pharmaceuticals/GlaxoSmithKline), a potassium channel opener, was approved in June 2011 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (F.D.A.) for the adjunctive treatment of partial-onset seizures in adult patients. The same drug was granted marketing authorization for this

Retigabine belongs to a new generation of antiepileptic drugs. Its mechanism of action is different from that previously known. Retigabine opens potassium channels of subfamily Kv 7, especially Kv 7.2 and Kv 7.3. The drug enhances GABA-ergic transmission. It is
Michele Y Splinter
Clinical therapeutics, 34(9), 1845-1856 (2012-08-25)
Ezogabine, also known as retigabine, is a recently approved anticonvulsant medication with a novel mechanism of action. It activates low-threshold voltage-gated potassium channels, leading to hyperpolarization of the membrane potential, stabilization of the resting membrane potential, and suppression of repetitive
