Pharmacodynamics

Rimtuzalcap is thought to decrease the firing of neurons in the olivo-cerebellar network which are theorized to contribute to the dysfunction of oscillatory neuronal input to the motor cortex that results in the presentation of motor tremors in the typical 4-12 Hz band associated with essential tremor.1,3 Inhibition of this dysfunctional firing may provide benefit to patients with essential tremor.

Mechanism of action

Rimtuzalcap is a positive allosteric modulator of small-conductance calcium-activated K+ channels (SK channels). 3 It is thought to exert its activity on essential tremor through increasing SK channel activity in the Purkinje cells of the cerebellar cortex resulting in hyperpolarization and consequently, a slower firing rate.2 These Purkinje cells have a glutamatergic excitatory input to deep cerebellar neurons in the dentate nucleus which themselves exert the same input on the ventral intermediate nucleus in the thalamocortical system.1 From there the ventral intermediate nucleus exerts excitatory input to the motor cortex, producing an effect on motor function. It is the decrease in the activity of this pathway through targeting Purkinje cell firing rate that is thought to have a beneficial impact on essential tremor.
