Product Description
Crisugabalin (HSK16149) is a novel voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) α2δ subunit ligand. Crisugabalin (HSK16149) is a novel ligand of the voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) α2δ subunit. It was designed to improve the therapeutic index compared to pregabalin, which is effective for chronic pain but limited by side effects such as dizziness and somnolence. HSK16149 showed higher in vitro potency than pregabalin and demonstrated analgesic effects in animal models of neuropathic pain, diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia, and inflammatory pain, with fewer central nervous system (CNS) side effects. [1]
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Crisugabalin (HSK16149) targets the α2δ subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs).
- Inhibition of [³H]gabapentin binding to the α2δ subunit: IC50 = 3.96 nM (95% CI: 2.28 – 6.63 nM). [1]
ln Vitro
- Binding affinity to VGCC α2δ subunit: In a competitive [³H]gabapentin binding assay using rat cerebral cortical membranes, HSK16149 inhibited [³H]gabapentin binding in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 of 3.96 nM (95% CI: 2.28 – 6.63 nM), which is 23 times more potent than pregabalin (IC50 = 92.12 nM, 95% CI: 61.40 – 141.2 nM). [1]
- Off-target selectivity profile: HSK16149 was tested at 10 µM against 105 targets (receptors, ion channels, transporters, enzymes). No significant inhibition or stimulation (>50%) was observed on any target, indicating high selectivity for the α2δ subunit. [1]
ln Vivo
- Chronic constriction injury (CCI) neuropathic pain model (rats): Oral administration of HSK16149 (3, 10, 30 mg/kg) dose-dependently increased paw withdrawal threshold (PWT). Minimum effective dose (MED) = 10 mg/kg. At 30 mg/kg, 50% PWT was 3.24-fold higher than vehicle at 2 h, lasting up to 6 h. Efficacy of 10 mg/kg HSK16149 was comparable to 30 mg/kg pregabalin. [1]
- STZ-induced diabetic neuropathy model (rats): HSK16149 (3, 10, 30 mg/kg, oral) dose-dependently increased PWT. MED = 10 mg/kg. At 30 mg/kg, efficacy lasted up to 24 h post-dose (pregabalin lasted only 12 h at same dose). At 10 mg/kg, efficacy persisted up to 8 h. [1]
- Intermittent cold stress (ICS) fibromyalgia model (mice): HSK16149 (10, 30 mg/kg, oral, 2 h pre-test) inhibited mechanical allodynia dose-dependently. MED = 30 mg/kg, increasing 50% PWT by 2.6-fold vs. vehicle, comparable to 30 mg/kg pregabalin. [1]
- Formalin-induced inflammatory pain model (mice): HSK16149 (10, 30 mg/kg, oral, 2 h pre-formalin) decreased phase II pain behaviors dose-dependently (1.6- and 2.2-fold decrease in motion counts, respectively, both P<0.0001 vs. vehicle). No significant effect on phase I at 30 mg/kg. Effect at 30 mg/kg similar to same dose of pregabalin. [1]
Enzyme Assay
- [³H]gabapentin binding assay: Rat cerebral cortical membranes were homogenized in 10 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.4). The homogenate was centrifuged at 12,000×g for 20 min at 4°C. Membrane pellets (0.02 mg equivalent) were incubated with 20 nM [³H]gabapentin and varying concentrations of test compounds for 30 min at 25°C. Bound and free fractions were separated by vacuum filtration through GF/B filters pre-treated with 0.3% polyetherimide. Filters were washed with ice-cold buffer. Bound radioactivity was measured by liquid scintillation counting. Non-specific binding was determined using 100 µM gabapentin. Inhibition rate (%) = (CPM_total – CPM_compound) / (CPM_total – CPM_non-specific). IC50 was calculated by non-linear regression using GraphPad Prism. [1]
Animal Protocol
- CCI neuropathic pain model (rats): A 2-mm polyethylene cuff was implanted around the left sciatic nerve under isoflurane anesthesia. On day 17 post-surgery, HSK16149 and pregabalin were suspended in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose sodium and orally administered at 10 µL/g. PWTs were measured at 2, 4, 6 h post-dose. Satellite groups (N=4) were used for plasma collection at 0, 0.083, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 12, 24 h. [1]
- STZ-induced diabetic neuropathy model (rats): Rats received 70 mg/kg STZ intraperitoneally for 3 consecutive days. After 22 days, rats with fasting glucose >11.1 mmol/L were considered diabetic. Baseline PWTs were measured. Compounds suspended in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose sodium were orally administered at 10 µL/g. PWTs measured at various time points. Plasma collected at same time points as CCI model. [1]
- ICS fibromyalgia model (mice): Mice were exposed to alternating cold (4°C) and room temperature cycles for 3 days. On day 4, mice with baseline 50% PWT >0.5 g were excluded. Compounds suspended in 0.5% methylcellulose were orally administered, and pain thresholds measured at 2 h post-dose. [1]
- Formalin-induced nociception (mice): Compounds or vehicle (0.5% methylcellulose) were orally administered. After 2 h, 15 µL of 2.5% formalin was injected subcutaneously into the right hind paw. Nociceptive responses (licking/biting) were recorded from 0-9 min (phase I) and 10-45 min (phase II) using an automatic detector. [1]
- Rotarod test (rats): Rats were trained on an accelerating rotarod (6 cm diameter, accelerated to 15 rpm) for 3 days. Those with fall-off latency >90 s on day 3 were used. On day 4, compounds or 0.5% methylcellulose were orally administered. At 2 h post-dose, fall-off latency was recorded (max 120 s). [1]
- Locomotor activity test (rats): Rats were acclimatized to the chamber for 2 days. After oral administration of vehicle or compounds, rats were placed into the detection system at 2 h post-dose and allowed to explore for 1 h. Total distance traveled was analyzed using an ANY-maze video tracking system. [1]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
- CCI model (rats): HSK16149 (10 mg/kg): Cmax = 0.69 µg/mL, AUC0-24h = 1.46 µg•h/mL; (30 mg/kg): Cmax = 1.69 µg/mL, AUC0-24h = 4.27 µg•h/mL. [1]
- STZ model (rats): HSK16149 (10 mg/kg): Cmax = 0.62 µg/mL, AUC0-24h = 1.55 µg•h/mL; (30 mg/kg): Cmax = 1.80 µg/mL, AUC0-24h = 4.75 µg•h/mL. [1]
- Comparison with pregabalin: At the same dose, the exposure levels (Cmax and AUC0-24h) of HSK16149 in plasma were 2.25–4.73 times lower than pregabalin in pain models. At 30 mg/kg, brain tissue AUC0-24h of HSK16149 was 18-fold lower than pregabalin. [1]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
- Rotarod test (ataxic effects): HSK16149 at 100 mg/kg caused a 1.8-fold decrease in fall-off latency (less severe than pregabalin, which caused a 3.6-fold decrease). At 30 mg/kg, pregabalin significantly reduced fall-off latency (1.4-fold), while HSK16149 showed no significant ataxic effect. MED for ataxia: HSK16149 = 100 mg/kg; pregabalin = 30 mg/kg. [1]
- Locomotor activity test (sedative effects): HSK16149 reduced total distance traveled dose-dependently. MED for sedation = 100 mg/kg for both HSK16149 and pregabalin (3-fold decrease vs. vehicle). [1]
- Therapeutic index calculation: Based on MED in CCI model (10 mg/kg) and rotarod test (100 mg/kg for HSK16149 vs. 30 mg/kg for pregabalin), the therapeutic index (rotarod) for HSK16149 is 10, vs. 3 for pregabalin. For locomotor activity: HSK16149 index = 10, pregabalin = 10, mirogabalin = 2.5. [1]

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
