General description

Retigabine, also known as ezogabine, is a new antiepileptic drug developed for treatment of partial seizures. The drug is marketed under the trade names Potiga in the US and Trobalt in the EU. This certified solution standard is suitable for use as starting material in calibrators and controls for LC/MS or GC/MS methods in clinical toxicology, forensic analysis, urine drug testing, pain prescription monitoring, or pharmaceutical research applications.

Retigabine (ezogabine in the US) opens neuronal voltage-gated potassium channels, resulting in resting membrane potential stabilization, neuronal subthreshold excitability control and anticonvulsant effects. The clinical efficacy of adjunctive oral retigabine in adults with inadequately controlled, partial-onset seizures was demonstrated in

Ezogabine, also known as retigabine, is a recently approved anticonvulsant medication with a novel mechanism of action. It activates low-threshold voltage-gated potassium channels, leading to hyperpolarization of the membrane potential, stabilization of the resting membrane potential, and suppression of repetitive

Retigabine [D23129; N-(2-amino-4-(4-fluorobenzylamino)-phenyl)carbamic acid ethyl ester] is an antiepileptic drug with a recently described novel mechanism of action that involves opening of neuronal K(V)7.2-7.5 (formerly KCNQ2-5) voltage-activated K(+) channels. These channels (primarily K(V)7.2/7.3) enable generation of the M-current, a subthreshold

Retigabine represents an antiepileptic drug possessing a completely different mechanism of action when compared to the existing classical and newer antiepileptic drugs. In the therapeutic range, retigabine enhances potassium currents, very likely via destabilization of a closed conformation or stabilization

Retigabine (RTG, [ethyl N-[2-amino-4-[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]amino] phenyl] carbamate]) is a first-in-class antiepileptic drug that acts by potentiating neuronal KCNQ potassium channels; however, it has less than optimal brain distribution. In this study, we report that P-RTG (ethyl N-[2-amino-4-((4-fluorobenzyl)(prop-2-ynyl)amino)phenyl]carbamate), an RTG derivative that
