  • EpiCept NP-1 is a prescription topical analgesic cream designed to provide effective, long-term relief from the pain of peripheral neuropathies. Peripheral neuropathies are medical conditions caused by damage to the nerves in the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system includes nerves that run from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. EpiCept NP-1 Cream is a patented formulation containing two FDA-approved drugs, amitriptyline (a widely-used antidepressant) and ketamine (an NMDA antagonist that is used as an anesthetic). (en)

http://linked.open...mechanismOfAction
  • The mechanism(s) of action are unclear for Epicept. Both ketamine and amitriptyline inhibit N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors in neuronal preparations and may be involved in sensitization of tetrodotoxin-resistant Na+ currents in nociceptors by blocking Na+ channels. In producing antihyperalgesia with pretreatment, but not posttreatment, regimens, ketamine and amitriptyline resemble the profile of a ยต-opioid receptor agonist. In addition to the above effects, amitriptyline also inhibits noradrenaline, 5-HT, and adenosine uptake; inter-acts with opioid mechanisms; blocks Ca2+ channels; and blocks cholinergic, histamine H1, 5-HT2, and {alpha}-adrenergic receptors. Accordingly there are many possible mechanisms at work. (en)
