suzetrigine
MOA
12.1 Mechanism of Action Suzetrigine is a selective blocker of the Na V 1.8 voltage-gated sodium channel, compared to other known voltage-gated sodium channels (Na V 1.1 through 1.9). Na V 1.8 is expressed in peripheral sensory neurons including dorsal root ganglion neurons, where its role is to transmit pain signals (action potentials). By selectively inhibiting Na V 1.8 channels, suzetrigine inhibits transmission of pain signals to the spinal cord and brain. M6-SUZ, a major active metabolite, is a less potent inhibitor of Na V 1.8 than suzetrigine by 3.7-fold.
