γ-Acetylenic GABA, also known as 4-aminohex-5-ynoic acid is a potent and irreversible inhibitor of GABA-T. [3] Mechanism of action
GABA is sold as a dietary supplement in many countries. It has been traditionally thought that exogenous GABA (i.e., taken as a supplement) does not cross the blood–brain barrier, but data obtained from more recent research (2010s) in rats describes the notion as being unclear. [2] [3] The carboxylate form of GABA is γ-aminobutyrate.
Alogabat (INN Tooltip International Nonproprietary Name, USAN Tooltip United States Adopted Name; developmental code names RG-7816 and RO7017773) is an α 5 subunit-containing GABA A receptor positive allosteric modulator which is under development for the treatment of pervasive developmental disorders (e.g., autism) and Angelman syndrome.
A GABA reuptake inhibitor (GRI) is a type of drug which acts as a reuptake inhibitor for the neurotransmitter gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) by blocking the action of the gamma-Aminobutyric acid transporters (GATs). This in turn leads to increased extracellular concentrations of GABA and therefore an increase in GABAergic neurotransmission. [1]
Vigabatrin is an irreversible mechanism-based inhibitor of gamma-aminobutyric acid aminotransferase (GABA-AT), the enzyme responsible for the catabolism of GABA. Inhibition of GABA-AT results in increased levels of GABA in the brain. [7] [26] Vigabatrin is a racemic compound, and its [S]-enantiomer is pharmacologically active. [27], [28]
Darigabat (developmental code names CVL-865, PF-06372865, PF-6372865) is a GABAergic medication which is under development for the treatment of photosensitive epilepsy, focal onset seizures, panic disorder, and other anxiety disorders.
Gamma-aminobutyric acid, a GABA-B receptor agonist. A GABA receptor agonist is a drug that is an agonist for one or more of the GABA receptors, producing typically sedative effects, and may also cause other effects such as anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant effects. [1] There are three receptors of the gamma-aminobutyric acid. The ...
Gaboxadol is a supra-maximal agonist at α 4 β 3 δ, low-potency agonist at α 1 β 3 γ 2, partial agonist at α 4 β 3 γ, and antagonist at ρ1 GABA A receptors. [5] [6] [7] Its affinity for extrasynaptic α 4 β 3 δ GABA A receptors is 10-fold greater than other subtypes. [8]
