Gabapentinoids are derivatives of the inhibitory CNS neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) which block αδ subunit-containing voltage-dependent calcium channels. This site has been referred to as the gabapentin receptor ( αδ subunit), as it is the target of the drugs gabapentin and pregabalin. Clinically-used gabapentinoids include gabapentin (Neurontin) and pregabalin (Lyrica) as well as a gabapentin prodrug, gabapentin enacarbil (Horizant). Another analogue mirogabalin is in clinical trials but has not yet been approved. Other compounds from this family used in research but not developed for medical use include phenibut (Noofen), atagabalin, 4-methylpregabalin and PD-217,014.
Gabapentinoids are used clinically in the treatment of conditions including epilepsy, neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, generalized anxiety disorder, and restless legs syndrome. Some off-label uses include migraine, social phobia, panic disorder, mania, bipolar disorder, and alcohol withdrawal.
