Brivaracetam is an orally bioavailable levetiracetam derivative, with anticonvulsant activity. Although the exact mechanism through which brivaracetam exerts its effects is not fully known, this agent targets and binds to synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) in the brain. This prevents synaptic vesicle exocytosis and the synaptic release of certain, as of yet not fully known, excitatory neurotransmitters. This may inhibit impulse conduction across synapses, decrease neuronal (hyper-)excitability, and may modulate epileptogenesis. SV2A, a membrane glycoprotein present in neuronal synaptic vesicles, plays a key role in action potential-induced neurotransmitter release in the brain.
The mechanism of action of brivaracetam is as an Epoxide Hydrolase Inhibitor.

5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Brivaracetam binds SV2A with high affinity. SV2A is known to play a role in epileptogenesis through modulation of synaptic GABA release. It is thought that brivaracetam exerts its anti-epileptogenic effects through its binding to SV2A. Brivaracetam is also known to inhibit Na+ channels which may also contribute to its anti-epileptogenic action.

5.5 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Nearly 100% oral bioavailability.


Route of Elimination

\>95% excreted in urine with <10% of the parent compound unchanged. <1% excreted in feces.


Volume of Distribution

0.5L/kg.


Clearance

CL/F of 0.7-1.07 mL/min kg. Clearance is primarily metabolic with less than 10% of the parent drug excreted unchanged.


5.6 Metabolism/Metabolites

Primarily metabolized by hydrolysis of the acetamide moeity to form a carboxylic acid metabolite. Another metabolite is created via oxidation of the propyl side chain by CYP2C8 as well as CYP3A4, CYP2C19, and CYP2B6. Some conjugation with glucuronic acid and taurine account for a small amount of metabolism.
