Cenobamate, or YKP-3089, is an antiepileptic drug developed by SK Pharmaceuticals and used to treat partial onset seizures. The exact mechanism of action has not been described in the literature, though it positively modulates GABAA and inhibits voltage gated sodium channels. Cenobamate was granted FDA approval on 21 November 2019.

4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Cenobamate is indicated for the treatment of partial onset seizures in adults.


Adjunctive treatment of focal-onset seizures with or without secondary generalisation in adult patients with epilepsy who have not been adequately controlled despite a history of treatment with at least 2 anti-epileptic medicinal products.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

The mechanism of cenobamate is unknown, however it modulates GABAA and inhibit voltage gated sodium channels. Cenobamate is given once daily and so it has a long duration of action. The therapeutic window is wide as doses of 750mg can be well tolerated. Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of DRESS syndrome, QT interval shortening, suicidal behavior, and neurological adverse effects.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Anticonvulsants

Drugs used to prevent SEIZURES or reduce their severity. (See all compounds classified as Anticonvulsants.)


5.3 ATC Code

N03AX


N - Nervous system

N03 - Antiepileptics

N03A - Antiepileptics

N03AX - Other antiepileptics

N03AX25 - Cenobamate


5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Cenobamate is 88% orally bioavailable with a Tmax of 1-4 hours. A high fat meal does not significantly impact the pharmacokinetics of cenobamate.


Route of Elimination

Cenobamate is 87.8% eliminated in the urine and 5.2% in the feces.


Volume of Distribution

The apparent volume of distribution of cenobamate is 40-50L.


Clearance

The apparent oral clearance of cenobamate is 0.45-0.63L/h for a 100-400mg/day dose.


5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

Data regarding the metabolism of cenobamate is lacking, however it is mostly glucuronidated by UGT2B7 and UGT2B4 or oxidized by a number of cytochromes.


5.6 Biological Half-Life

The terminal half life of cenobamate is 50-60h.


5.7 Mechanism of Action

Cenobamate inhibits voltage gated sodium channels and is a positive GABAA modulator. However, the exact mechanism of action remains unknown. Inhibition of voltage gated sodium channels increases the threshold for generating action potentials and decreases the number of action potentials.
