Levetiracetam (INN) /lɛv[미지원 입력]tɪˈræs[미지원 입력]tæm/ is an anticonvulsant medication used to treat epilepsy.[1] It is the S-enantiomer of etiracetam, structurally similar to the prototypical nootropic drug piracetam.

Levetiracetam is marketed under the trade name Keppra. Keppra is manufactured by UCB Pharmaceuticals Inc. Since November 2008 the drug has been available as a generic brand in the United States.

Medical uses

Levetiracetam has been approved in the European Union as a monotherapy treatment for epilepsy in the case of partial seizures, or as an adjunctive therapy for partial, myoclonic and tonic-clonic seizures.[2] It is also used in veterinary medicine for similar purposes.

Levetiracetam has potential benefits for other psychiatric and neurologic conditions such as Tourette syndrome, autism, bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder,[3] as well as Alzheimer's disease.[4] However, its most serious adverse effects are behavioral, and its benefit-risk ratio in these conditions is not well understood.[3]

Along with other anticonvulsants like gabapentin, it is also sometimes used to treat neuropathic pain. It has not been found to be useful for essential tremors.[5]

Adverse effects

Levetiracetam is generally well tolerated,[6] but may cause drowsiness, weakness, unsteady gait, fatigue, coordination problems, headache, pain, forgetfulness, anxiety, irritability or agitation, dizziness, mood changes, nervousness, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, throat pain, constipation, and changes in skin pigmentation.

Serious side effects may include depression, hallucinations, suicidal thoughts, seizures that are worse or different, fever, sore throat, signs of infection, double vision, itching, rash, swelling of the face. A study published in 2005 suggests that the addition of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) may curtail some of the psychiatric symptoms.[7]

A rare side effect of levetiracitam is a pins and needles sensation in the patient's legs, similar to neuropathy.

Measurement in bodily fluids

Assay of Levetiracetam[8]

There are only a few papers published reporting therapeutic drug monitoring methods of levetiracetam. Three of them employed HPLC with UV-detection,[9][10][11] and two methods were using GC with NPD-detection,.[10][12] Microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography with UV-detection was utilized in one method.[13] Two methods facilitating chiral separation of the S- and R- enantiomer of levetiracetam, one utilizing GC–MS and the other HPLC–UV, were published,.[14][15] These methods were designed to investigate in dogs the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of the two enantiomers separately. For routine therapeutic drug monitoring in men, these methods were not appropriate. In all but one of the methods,[11] sample preparation with SPE or liquid–liquid extraction is necessary. Pucci et al.[11] evaluated the feasibility of protein precipitation as the only sample preparation step in comparison to SPE. They concluded, that protein precipitation is a suitable and fast sample preparation for measuring routine patient samples. Mecarelli et al. [16] studied the concentration of levetiracetam in both serum and saliva of patients with epilepsy.

Various HPLC,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23] and LC-MS,[24][25][26] methods have been reported for the determination of levetiracetam in pure and pharmaceutical dosage forms.

Mechanism of action

The exact mechanism by which levetiracetam acts to treat epilepsy is unknown. However, the drug binds to a synaptic vesicle glycoprotein, SV2A,[27] and inhibits presynaptic calcium channels.[28] This is believed to impede impulse conduction across synapses.[29]
