Retigabine is a novel antiseizure drug that acts through potassium channels and has activity in a broad range of animal models of epilepsy. It is also effective in several preclinical pain models. The drug has been extensively studied in phase
The pharmacologic profile of retigabine [RTG (international nonproprietary name); ezogabine, EZG (U.S. adopted name)], is different from all currently approved antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Its primary mechanism of action (MoA) as a positive allosteric modulator of KCNQ2-5 (K(v) 7.2-7.5) ion channels
