基本介绍
An analogue of gamma-aminobutyric acid, vigabatrin is an irreversible inhibitor of 4-aminobutyrate transaminase, the enzyme responsible for the catabolism of gamma-aminobutyric acid. (From Martindale The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 31st ed). Off-label uses include treatment of cocaine dependence.

适应症
药理
Indication | For use as an adjunct in treatment resistant epilepsy, refractory complex partial seizures, and secondary generalized seizures. It is also used as monotherapy in infantile spasms in West syndrome. |
Pharmacodynamics | Vigabatrin is an anticonvulsant chemically unrelated to other anticonvulsants. Vigabatrin prevents the catabolism of GABA by irreversibly inhibiting the enzyme GABA transaminase. It is an analog of GABA, but it is not a receptor agonist. However, vigabatrin is not a potent inhibitor of GABA-T with a Ki of 10 mM. |
Mechanism of action | Vigabatrin increases brain concentrations of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS, by irreversibly inhibiting enzymes that catabolize GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid transaminase, GABA-T). Duration of action is determined by rate of GABA-T re-synthesis. Vigabatrin may also work by suppressing repetitive neuronal firing through inhibition of voltage-sensitive sodium channels. Although administered as a racemic mixture, only the S(+) enantiomer is pharmacologically active. |
Absorption | Rapidly absorbed following oral administration, absorption is comparable between neonates, infants, and children. Cmax, 50 mg/kg dose, neonates= 14 mg/L; Tmax, 50 mg/kg dose, neonates = 2.1 hours; However, extent of absorption is higher and elimination half life is longer in neonates compared to children and infants. This is because neonates have reduced renal function compared to the aforementioned population groups. AUC, 50 mg/kg dose, neonates = 142.6 ± 44.0 mg/L/hr; Food may slightly decrease the rate (Cmax decreased by 33%, Tmax increased to 2 hours), but not the extent of absorption. Furthermore, vigabatrin does not cross the blood-brain-barrier well, thus high doses are needed. |
Volume of distribution | 1.1 L/kg |
Protein binding | Not protein bound |
Metabolism |
Almost no metabolic transformation. Does not induce the hepatic cytochrome P450 system.
|
Route of elimination | Eliminated primarily through renal excretion as unchanged drugs (80%). |
Half life | Neonates, 50 mg/kg = 7.5 ± 2.1 hours (due to reduced renal function); Infants = 5.7 hours; Adults = 7.5 hours; Elderly = 12 - 13 hours |
Clearance | Infants = 2.4 ± 0.8 L/h; |
Toxicity | LD50, oral, rat: 3000 mg/kg; Visual field defects may occur following cumulative doses in excess of 2 kg. |

Drug | Interaction |
---|---|
Clonazepam | Vigabatrin increases Cmax of clonazepam by 30% and decreases Tmax by 45% |
Fosphenytoin | Vigabatrin decreases the effect of hydantoin |
Mefloquine | Mefloquine may decrease the serum concentration of Vigabatrin. This may increase the risk of seizure in patients receiving Vigabatrin to prevent seizures. Consider alternate therapy or monitor for changes in Vigabatrin serum concentration, therapeutic or adverse effects if Mefloquin is initiated, discontinued or dose changed. |
Methotrimeprazine | Additive CNS depression may occur. Dose adjustments may be required if one agent is added to existing therapy with the other agent. Monitor for increased CNS depression during concomitant therapy. |
Phenobarbital | Vigabatrin reduces serum concentrations of phenobarbital by 8-16%. |
Phenytoin | Vigabatrin reduces plasma levels of phenytoin by 16-20% which may be due to induction of CYP2C. Consider dosage adjustment. |
Sildenafil | Increased anticonvulsant effects of vigabatrin due to pharmacodynamic synergism. Monitor for adverse effects during concomitant therapy. |
Triprolidine | The CNS depressants, Triprolidine and Vigabatrin, may increase adverse/toxic effects due to additivity. Monitor for increased CNS depressant effects during concomitant therapy. |
Valproic Acid | Vigabatrin reduces serum concentrations of valproic acid by 8%. |
