Lidocaine stabilizes neuronal membrane by inhibiting ionic fluxes required for impulse initiation and conduction. - Neurontin · Generic (originally Parke-Davis/Pfizer)
Binds the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels, modulating neurotransmitter release to treat neuropathic pain and seizures. - Neurontin · Pfizer Inc.
Gabapentin binds with high-affinity to α2δ subunit of voltage-activated calcium channels; precise mechanism unknown. - Tarlige · Daiichi Sankyo
- Horizant · Azurity
Horizant works by binding to the alpha-2/delta-1 subunit of voltage-dependent calcium channels, reducing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters and alleviating pain. - gabapentine · Dominik Irnich
