• Discovered by Richard B. Silverman of Northwestern University• First drug approved by the FDA for wide spread pain of

fibromyalgia• Also treats epilepsy and neuropathic pain disorders• Sales of LyricaTM (1.8 billion in 2007)• First Pfizer pharmaceutical drug in a decade to gross over one

billion dollars in a fiscal year

H2Npregabalin (LyricaTM)

• Analogue of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)• Binds to the protein subunit of voltage-sensitive calcium

channels, modifying calcium transduction and neurotransmitter release

• Acts as a agonist of GABA receptors• Increases GABA levels by increasing glutamic acid decarboxylase

(GAD) activity• GAD is an enzyme that synthesizes glutamate to GABA in one step
