Mirogabalin is an analog of the neurotransmitter, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). It is a potent and specific ligand of the α2δ subunit of voltage-dependent Ca2+channels, which reduces calcium (Ca2+) influx and neurotransmission in dorsal root ganglia (DRGs), inhibiting neurotransmitter release in presynaptic neuron endings.
Mirogabalin is usually used to treat neuropathic pain, diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain, postherpetic neuralgia & central neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury.
