“…The present study demonstrates that a new GABA analog PD-217014, like gabapentin and pregabalin, inhibited [ 3 H]-gabapentin binding to pig cortical membranes in a concentration-dependent manner, indicating that this compound is a potent ligand to the ␣ 2 ␦ subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels. The calculated K i value (18 nmol/l) of PD-217014 was comparable to that of pregabalin reported in a previous paper [23] .…”

“…Affinity to the ␣ 2 ␦ subunit was determined by scintillation proximity assay (SPA) using a pig brain membrane preparation, as described previously [22,23] . Curve fitting and IC 50 values were calculated using a four-parameter, nonlinear regression equation from Prism 4.0 software (GraphPad, USA), while K i values were determined using previously determined K d values for pig (20 nmol/l) and the equation of Cheng and Prusoff [24] .…”

PD-217014, a new GABA analog (1α,3α,5α-3-aminomethyl-bicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-3-acetic acid), inhibited [³H]-gabapentin binding to α₂δ subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in a concentration-dependent manner (K_i = 18 nmol/l). Oral treatment with PD-217014 significantly inhibited the visceral hypersensitivity induced by an intra-colonic injection of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid in rats. The anti-hyperalgesic effect of PD-217014 increased in a dose-dependent manner, and reached a plateau level at 60 mg/kg p.o. The visceral analgesia produced by PD-217014 at 30 and 60 mg/kg p.o. correlated with blood concentrations within 4 h after dosing, and maximal efficacy was obtained 2 h after dosing when the maximal blood concentration was achieved at either dose. These results indicate that PD-217014 is a potent α₂δ ligand and possesses visceral analgesic activity.

Background: Gabapentin and pregabalin inhibit Ca 2+ currents via high-voltage-activated channels containing the 2 -1 subunit, reducing neurotransmitter release and attenuating the postsynaptic excitability. They are antiepileptic drugs successfully used also for the chronic pain treatment. A large number of clinical trials indicate that gabapentin and pregabalin could be effective as postoperative analgesics. This systematic-narrative review aims to analyse the most recent evidences regarding the effect of gabapentinoids on postoperative pain treatment.Methods: Medline, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE and CINHAL were searched for recent (2006)(2007)(2008)(2009) randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of gabapentin-pregabalin for postoperative pain relief in adults. Quality of RCTs was evaluated according to Jadad method. Visual analogue scale (VAS), opioid consumption and side-effects (nausea, vomiting, dizziness and sedation) were considered the most important outcomes.Results: An overall of 22 gabapentin (1640 patients), 8 pregabalin (707 patients) RCTs and seven meta-analysis were involved in this review. Gabapentin provided better post-operative analgesia and rescue analgesics sparing than placebo in 6 of the 10 RCTs that administered only pre-emptive analgesia. Fourteen RCTs suggested that gabapentin did not reduce PONV when compared with placebo, clonidine or lornoxicam. Pregabalin provided better post-operative analgesia and rescue analgesics sparing than placebo in two of the three RCTs that evaluated the effects of pregabalin alone vs placebo. Four studies reported no pregabalin effects on preventing the PONV. Conclusion:Gabapentin and pregabalin reduce pain and opioid consumption after surgery in confront with placebo, but comparisons with other standard post-operative regimens are not sufficient. Gabapentin and pregabalin seem not to have any influence on the prevention of PONV.

“…One of these compounds, compound 34 which did not bind to the system L-amino acid transporter, had an anticonvulsant effect in vivo when given intracerebroventricularly but not orally (103). Therefore, the Lamino acid transporter may be important for the active transport of gabapentin through the blood-brain barrier or intestinal absorption but may not be directly involved in its cellular actions.…”

“…Synthetic analogues of gabapentin with high binding affinity at the α 2 δ subunit have been developed and shown to have anticonvulsant and antinociceptive activities in vivo (103,105,131,132). However, the functional consequence of gabapentin binding to the α 2 δ subunit is still not well established.…”

Mechanisms of the Antinociceptive Action of Gabapentin

Abstract. Gabapentin, a γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) analogue anticonvulsant, is also an effective analgesic agent in neuropathic and inflammatory, but not acute, pain systemically and intrathecally. Other clinical indications such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, and hot flashes have also been proposed. Since gabapentin was developed, several hypotheses had been proposed for its action mechanisms. They include selectively activating the heterodimeric GABA B receptors consisting of GABA B1a and GABA B2 subunits, selectively enhancing the NMDA current at GABAergic interneurons, or blocking AMPA-receptor-mediated transmission in the spinal cord, binding to the L-α-amino acid transporter, activating ATP-sensitive K + channels, activating hyperpolarization-activated cation channels, and modulating Ca 2+ current by selectively binding to the specific binding site of [3 H]gabapentin, the α 2 δ subunit of voltage-dependent Ca 2+ channels. Different mechanisms might be involved in different therapeutic actions of gabapentin. In this review, we summarized the recent progress in the findings proposed for the antinociceptive action mechanisms of gabapentin and suggest that the α 2 δ subunit of spinal N-type Ca 2+ channels is very likely the analgesic action target of gabapentin.
