阿坎酸被認為可穩定大腦的神經傳遞英语Neurotransmission,這些訊號傳遞會因酒精戒斷而受干擾。[3]對大多數患者而言,單獨使用阿坎酸並非有效的治療方法。[4]研究發現將阿坎酸與社會心理支持結合時效果會最佳,因為該藥物有助於減少飲酒數量,也有達到完全戒酒的效果。[2][5][6]

服用此藥物的嚴重副作用有過敏反應心律不整以及低血壓或是高血壓,而較不嚴重的副作用有頭痛失眠勃起功能障礙[7]最常見的副作用是腹瀉[8]目前尚不清楚個體於懷孕期間使用是否對胎兒有安全的問題。[9][10]

此藥物被列入世界衛生組織基本藥物標準清單之中。[11]

醫療用途

编辑

有酒精使用障礙的患者在接受諮詢,並同時服用阿坎酸時會非常有用。[2]在三到十二個月的治療期間,完全不喝酒的人數和患者不喝酒的天數會增加。[2]它在維持戒酒方面似乎與納曲酮英语naltrexone一樣有效,[12]然而納曲酮在減少酒精渴望和酗酒方面效果稍好,[13]同時在歐洲以外,而治療服務不太健全的地區,使用阿坎酸的效果往往會較差。[14]

用藥禁忌

编辑

阿坎酸主要經由臟排除。對於腎功能中度受損的患者(肌酸酐清除率在30毫升/分鐘和50毫升/分鐘之間),建議將使用劑量降低。[1][15]對藥物中阿坎酸鈣或其任何成分有強烈過敏反應的人也應禁止使用。[15]

不良影響

编辑

此藥物在美國銷售的標籤上會列有服用會與自殺行為、重性憂鬱疾患腎衰竭增加有關聯的警告。[1]

臨床試驗中,對停止服用者導致的不良反應有腹瀉、噁心憂鬱焦慮[1]

潛在的副作用包括頭痛、腹痛、背痛、肌肉痛關節痛胸痛感染、類流感症狀、發冷、心悸、高血壓、昏厥嘔吐、胃部不適、便秘食慾增加、體重增加、水腫嗜睡、性慾減退、勃起功能障礙、健忘思考障礙、視力異常、味覺異常、顫抖流鼻涕咳嗽、呼吸困難、喉嚨痛、支氣管炎和皮[1]

阿坎酸鈣分子結構

藥效學

编辑

阿坎酸的藥效學很複雜且尚未被完全了解,[16][17][18]然而它被認為可作為NMDA受體拮抗劑和[[GABAA受體]]的正變構調節劑英语allosteric modulator[17][18]

此藥物與大多數其他藥物不同,其對這些受體產生的活性是間接性的。[19]抑制GABAB系統被認為會間接導致GABAA受體增強。[19]對NMDA受體的影響具有劑量依賴性,藥物似乎在低濃度下可增強受體活性,而在較高濃度時會有抑制作用,可抵消患者在發生酒精戒斷情況下NMDA受體過度激活狀態。[20]

該藥物還可增加服用者的牛磺酸內源性產量。[20]

乙醇苯二氮平類藥物透過與GABAA受體結合,將具有抑制神經傳導作用的GABA功能增強,而對中樞神經系統發揮作用(即此藥物充當這些受體的正變構調節劑)。[17][4]對有酒精使用疾患的患者,發生耐受性的主要機制之一是GABAA受體下調(即這些受體對GABA變得不太敏感)。[4]而當個體停止飲酒後,正常的GABA生產就會導致戒斷症狀出現,[4]而導致神經元過度興奮。阿坎酸的作用機制之一是透過正變構受體調節,增強GABAA受體的GABA訊號傳導。[17][18]據稱此藥物能以一種新穎的方式打開氯離子通道,而不需要GABA作為輔助因子,因此比苯二氮平類藥物更不易產生依賴性。阿坎酸已成功用於控制因鼓膜張肌痙攣而導致的耳鳴聽覺過敏、耳痛和飲酒期間的內耳壓力。[21]

此外,酒精也會抑制NMDA受體的活性。[22][23]長期飲酒會導致這些受體過度生產(上調)。突然戒酒後會導致這些大量生產的NMDA受體比正常情況更為活躍,而產生震顫性譫妄興奮性毒性英语excitotoxicity而導致神經元死亡的情況。[24]戒酒會導致麩胺酸等興奮性神經傳導物質釋放激增,而過度激活NMDA受體。[25]阿坎酸可減少麩氨酸的激增。[26]該藥物還表現出可保護實驗室培養大鼠細胞免受乙醇戒斷引起的興奮性毒性,[27]以及受乙醇戒斷加上麩氨酸暴露的影響。[28]

此藥物也透過讓睡眠週期第3階段快速動眼期正常化來重建標準睡眠結構,而被認為是其藥理活性的一重要作用。[20]

藥物動力學

编辑

阿坎酸不會被人體代謝。[18]口服阿坎酸的絕對生物利用度約為11%,[18]飲食時服用阿坎酸,其生物利用度會被降低。[29]服用的阿坎酸會以原形經由腎臟排泄。[18]

阿坎酸受人體的吸收和消除非常緩慢,達到最大血藥濃度需6小時,達到生物半衰期需時超過30小時。[19]

歷史

编辑

阿坎酸由默克集團子公司Lipha所開發。[30]於1989年獲准在歐洲用於治療酒精依賴[31]

藥業公司Forest Laboratories英语Forest Laboratories於2001年10月取得藥物在美國的銷售權。[30][32]

該藥物於2004年7月獲得美國食品藥物管理局(FDA)核准用於醫療用途。[33]

阿坎酸的首個通用名藥物於2013年在美國上市。[34]

截至2015年,名為Confluence Pharmaceuticals的藥業公司在開發阿坎酸作為X染色體易裂症的治療法。此藥物在2013年被FDA授予孤兒藥地位,並於2014年也被歐洲藥品管理局(EMA)授予孤兒藥地位。[35]

社會與文化

编辑

"阿坎酸"是此藥物的國際非專有藥名(INN)和英國核准藥名英语British Approved Name(BAN)。 "阿坎酸鈣"是美國通用名英语United States Adopted Name(USAN)和日本接受名英语Japan Accepted Name(JAN)。它在技術上也稱為N-乙酰基高牛磺酸(N-acetylhomotaurine )或乙醯高牛磺酸(acetylhomotaurinate)。

此藥物以Campral[1]及Alglutol等品牌銷售。

研究

编辑

此藥物除能明顯幫助患者戒酒之外,一些證據顯示其具有神經保護作用(即它可保護神經元,免受酒精戒斷以及可能的其他神經毒性原因,而造成的損傷和死亡)。[26][36]

It has been hypothesized that long-term ethanol exposure alters the expression or activity of specific GABAA receptor subunits in discrete brain regions. Regardless of the underlying mechanism, ethanol-induced decreases in GABAA receptor sensitivity are believed to contribute to ethanol tolerance, and also may mediate some aspects of physical dependence on ethanol. ... Detoxification from ethanol typically involves the administration of benzodiazepines such as chlordiazepoxide, which exhibit cross-dependence with ethanol at GABAA receptors (Chapters 5 and 15). A dose that will prevent the physical symptoms associated with withdrawal from ethanol, including tachycardia, hypertension, tremor, agitation, and seizures, is given and is slowly tapered. Benzodiazepines are used because they are less reinforcing than ethanol among alcoholics. Moreover, the tapered use of a benzodiazepine with a long half-life makes the emergence of withdrawal symptoms less likely than direct withdrawal from ethanol. ... Unfortunately, acamprosate is not adequately effective for most alcoholics.

Acamprosate is thought to stabilize the chemical balance in the brain that would otherwise be disrupted by alcoholism, possibly by blocking glutaminergic N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors, while gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptors are activated. ... The mechanism of action of acamprosate in the maintenance of alcohol abstinence is not completely understood. Chronic alcohol exposure is hypothesized to alter the normal balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition. in vitro and in vivo studies in animals have provided evidence to suggest acamprosate may interact with glutamate and GABA neurotransmitter systems centrally, and has led to the hypothesis that acamprosate restores this balance. It seems to inhibit NMDA receptors while activating GABA receptors.
