General description

Retigabine is an antiepileptic drug, which activates neuronal KCNQ-type K+ channels by inducing a large hyperpolarizing shift of steady-state activation.

Application

Retigabine may be used as a reference standard in the determination of retigabine in biological matrices using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry with positive ion atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (HPLC-APCI-MS/MS).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Retigabine (Ezogabine) is a Kv7.2-7.5 (KCNQ2-5) neuronal potassium channel opener witrh anticonvulsant activity.
Retigabine is a Kv7.2-7.5 potassium channel activator; anticonvulsant.

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
