Psychiatric use : Pregabalin has an approved indication and is widely used for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder. Several randomized, double- blind, placebocontrolled trials found that pregabalin is an effective treatment for patients with generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder. Possible implications in the treatment of mood disorders and benzodiazepines dependence are emerging. Moreover, pregabalin may be a therapeutic agent for the treatment of alcohol abuse, in both withdrawal phase and relapse prevention.
Description :Pregabalin (Lyrica), a derivative of GABA that is closely related to gabapentin, has undergone extensive research for its efficacy in treating conditions such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, and partial complex seizures. It seems to have a more targeted effect on the a2-δ subunit of calcium channels in the brain compared to gabapentin. Pregabalin was granted FDA approval at the end of 2004 for the treatment of neuropathic pain and epilepsy. In 2008, it became the first medication approved for the management of fibromyalgia. Although pregabalin was approved for GAD treatment in the European Union in 2006, it has not yet received FDA approval for GAD in the United States as of the time of writing.

Definition: ChEBI: Pregabalin is a gamma-amino acid that is gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) carrying an isobutyl substitutent at the beta-position (the S-enantiomer). Binds with high affinity to the alpha2-delta site (an auxiliary subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels) in central nervous system tissues. It has a role as an anticonvulsant and a calcium channel blocker. It is functionally related to a gamma-aminobutyric acid.
