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

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

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 (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
Recent research suggests that smooth muscle cells express Kv7.4 and Kv7.5 voltage-activated potassium channels, which contribute to maintenance of their resting membrane voltage. New pharmacologic activators of Kv7 channels, ML213 (N-mesitybicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxamide) and ICA-069673 N-(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)-3,4-difluorobenzamide), have been reported to discriminate among
