Xcopri Titration Pack, 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.

Xcopri Titration Pack was granted FDA approval on 21 November 2019.

The mechanism of cenobamate is unknown, however it modulates GABAA and inhibit voltage gated sodium channels. Xcopri Titration Pack 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.

How Xcopri Titration Pack works

Xcopri Titration Pack 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.

Toxicity

There is limited information regarding the signs, symptoms, and treatment of a cenobamate overdose. Symptomatic and supportive treatment is recommended and there is limited data on the utility of dialysis to remove cenobamate from blood.

Food Interaction

[Moderate] GENERALLY AVOID:

Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of central nervous system (CNS)-active agents.

Use in combination may result in additive CNS depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

Patients receiving CNS-active agents should be advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol.

Ambulatory patients should be counseled against driving, operating machinery, or engaging in potentially hazardous activities requiring mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.
