Dược Động Học :
▧ Absorption :
Lacosamide has a negligible first pass effect with bioavailability of about 100%. The maximum Lacosamide plasma concentrations occur about 1-4 hours after oral administration, and the pharmacokinetics of Lacosamide are dose proportional. Food does not affect absorption.
▧ Volume of Distribution :
approximately 0.6 L/kg; thus close to the volume of total body water.
▧ Protein binding :
<15%
▧ Metabolism :
Lacosamide is a CYP2C19 substrate. The relative contribution of other CYP isoforms or non-CYP enzymes in the metabolism of lacosamide is not known. Primary compounds excreted were unchanged lacosamide (approximately 40% of the dose), its O-desmethyl metabolite (approximately 30%), and a structurally unknown polar fraction (~20%). The plasma exposure of the major human metabolite, O-desmethyl-lacosamide, is approximately 10% of that of lacosamide. This metabolite has no known pharmacological activity.
▧ Route of Elimination :
Lacosamide is eliminated primarily from the systemic circulation by biotransformation and renal excretion.
▧ Half Life :
13 Hours
▧ Clearance :
95% recovered in the urine
0.5% in the feces
