Background

Stiripentol is an antiepileptic agent that is an aromatic allylic alcohol drug, which makes it structurally unique from other antiepileptic drugs.2,6 The clinical development and marketing of stiripentol were first delayed due to the drug's potent inhibitory effects on hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes.6 However, its clinical efficacy as adjunctive therapy for epilepsies stems from its inhibitory action on CYP enzymes, as stiripentol reduces the degradation of CYP-sensitive antiepileptic drugs, hence boosting their therapeutic efficacy. Stiripentol may also exhibit direct anticonvulsant properties, although the exact mechanism of action is fully understood.1

Approved in the US, Canada, and Europe, stiripentol is used to treat seizures associated with Dravet syndrome.7,8,10 It is marketed under the brand name Diacomit.

Pharmacology

Indication

In the US, stiripentol is indicated for the treatment of seizures associated with Dravet syndrome in patients taking clobazam who are 6 months of age and older and weighing 7 kg or more. There are no clinical data to support the use of stiripentol as monotherapy in Dravet syndrome.8

In Europe and Canada, stiripentol is indicated for use as adjunctive therapy with clobazam and valproate to refractory generalized tonic-clonic seizures in patients with Dravet syndrome in infancy whose seizures are not adequately controlled with clobazam and valproate alone.7,10

Pharmacodynamics

Stiripentol is an antiepileptic agent that works to reduce seizure frequency. It demonstrates anticonvulsant properties when administered alone and may potentiate GABAergic inhibition via several proposed mechanisms.4 It provides a therapeutic advantage in improving the efficacy of other antiepileptic drugs by inhibiting cytochrome P450 enzymes that normally metabolize those drugs.8 The anticonvulsant activity of stiripentol is age-dependent, with increased efficacy in younger patients.4

Mechanism of action

The mechanism by which stiripentol exerts its anticonvulsant effect in humans has not been fully elucidated. Possible mechanisms of action include direct effects mediated through the gamma-aminobutyric acid GABAA receptor and indirect effects involving inhibition of cytochrome P450 activity with a resulting increase in blood levels of clobazam and its active metabolite.8

Stiripentol is a positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors in the brain that enhances the opening duration of the channel by binding to a site different than the benzodiazepine binding site.1 It binds to GABAA receptors containing any of the α, β, γ, or δ-subunits but displays the most potent potency when bound to receptors containing α3 or δ subunits.4 Stiripentol also binds to GABAA receptor-dependent chloride channels via a barbiturate-like mechanism.5 Stiripentol potentiates GABA transmission by enhancing the release of GABA,1,2 reducing synaptosomal uptake of GABA,7 and inhibiting GABA transaminase-mediated breakdown of GABA.7

Stiripentol is an inhibitor of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), which is involved in the energy metabolism of neurons and regulation of neuronal excitation. The drug binds to the site separate from the enzyme's lactate and pyruvate binding sites, thereby inhibiting both pyruvate-to-lactate conversion and lactate-to-pyruvate conversion.3 By inhibiting LDH, stiripentol may induce hyperpolarization, thereby reducing neuronal excitability.5 LDH inhibitors, including stiripentol, mimic a ketogenic diet, where the energy source in the brain is switched from glucose to mainly ketone bodies. The ketone bodies directly regulate neuronal excitation and seizures via ATP-sensitive potassium channels and vesicular glutamate transporters.3 Stiripentol is also suggested to exhibit neuroprotective properties, which may reduce injury caused by oxygen-glucose deprivation and glutamate excess.5

Absorption

After oral administration, stiripentol is quickly and readily absorbed 2 with a median Tmax of two to three hours.8 The systemic exposure increases dose-proportionally.7 Stiripentol has a low bioavailability due to water insolubility and extensive metabolism.2

Volume of distribution

The average volume of distribution is 1.03 L/kg but does not display a dose-dependent relationship. Following administration, stiripentol enters the brain and accumulates in the cerebellum and medulla.2

Protein binding

Protein binding of stiripentol is 99%.8

Metabolism

Stiripentol is extensively metabolized. About 13 different metabolites have been found in urine. The main metabolic processes are demethylenation (oxidative cleavage of the methylenedioxy ring system) and glucuronidation, although precise identification of the enzymes involved has not yet been achieved.7,10 Other metabolic pathways include O-methylation of catechol metabolites, hydroxylation of the t-butyl group, and conversion of the allylic alcohol side-chain to the isomeric 3-pentanone structure.2

In vitro studies suggested that the phase I metabolism of stiripentol is catalyzed by CYP1A2, CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 and possibly other enzymes.10

Route of elimination

Stiripentol is mainly eliminated via metabolism.2 Its metabolites are excreted mainly via the kidney. Urinary metabolites of stiripentol accounted collectively for the majority (73%) of an oral acute dose whereas a further 13-24% was recovered in feces as unchanged drug.7

Half-life

The elimination half life is approximately ranges from 4.5 to 13 hours, in a dose-dependent manner.8

Clearance

Plasma clearance decreases markedly at high doses; it falls from approximately 40 L/kg/day at the dose of 600 mg/day to about 8 L/kg/day at the dose of 2,400 mg. Clearance is decreased after repeated administration of stiripentol, probably due to inhibition of the cytochrome P450 isoenzymes responsible for its metabolism.7

Toxicity

The oral LD50 in rats is >3 g/kg.9

There is limited clinical data on stiripentol overdose in humans. In mice, high doses of stiripentol (600 to 1800 mg/kg i.p.) caused decreased motor activity and respiration. Overdose should be managed with supportive and symptomatic treatment.8

1,2-BenzodiazepineThe metabolism of 1,2-Benzodiazepine can be decreased when combined with Stiripentol.
AbacavirAbacavir may decrease the excretion rate of Stiripentol which could result in a higher serum level.
AbametapirThe serum concentration of Stiripentol can be increased when it is combined with Abametapir.
AbataceptThe metabolism of Stiripentol can be increased when combined with Abatacept.
AbemaciclibThe metabolism of Abemaciclib can be decreased when combined with Stiripentol.
Food Interactions
  • Avoid excessive or chronic alcohol consumption. Ingesting alcohol may increase the risk of sedation and somnolence that can be caused by stiripentol.
  • Avoid milk and dairy products. These products may interfere with the absorption of stiripentol.
  • Limit caffeine intake. Stiripentol may attenuate CYP1A2-mediated metabolism of caffeine.
  • Take with a full glass of water. Oral capsules should be swallowed whole with a glass of water during a meal and oral suspension should be mixed in a glass of water and should be taken immediately after mixing during a meal.
  • Take with food. Stiripentol degrades rapidly in an acidic environment.
