Mirogabalin activates the descending noradrenergic system by binding to the α2δ-1 subunit of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels to generate analgesic effects
Gabapentinoids such as gabapentin and pregabalin, which bind specifically to the α2δ subunit of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, are used for first-line treatment of neuropathic pain. Here, we examined the analgesic effect of mirogabalin besilate (referred to simply as mirogabalin), a novel gabapentinoi...
