  2. GABA receptor agonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GABA_receptor_agonist

    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 ...

  3. GABA reuptake inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GABA_reuptake_inhibitor

    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]

  4. GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GABAA_receptor_positive...

    In pharmacology, GABA A receptor positive allosteric modulators, also known as GABAkines or GABA A receptor potentiators, [1] are positive allosteric modulator (PAM) molecules that increase the activity of the GABA A receptor protein in the vertebrate central nervous system. GABA is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.

  5. GABA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piperidinate

    Drugs that act as allosteric modulators of GABA receptors (known as GABA analogues or GABAergic drugs), or increase the available amount of GABA, typically have relaxing, anti-anxiety, and anti-convulsive effects (with equivalent efficacy to lamotrigine based on studies of mice).

  6. Gabapentinoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabapentinoid

    Gabapentinoids, also known as α 2 δ ligands, are a class of drugs that are chemically derivatives of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) (i.e., GABA analogues) which bind selectively to the α 2 δ protein that was first described as an auxiliary subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs).

  7. Neurotransmitter prodrug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotransmitter_prodrug

    γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) prodrugs include progabide and tolgabide. [2] [36] Picamilon has been claimed to be a prodrug of GABA, but has not actually been demonstrated to be converted into GABA. [37] [38] Pivagabine was once thought to be a prodrug of GABA, but this proved not to be the case. [39]

  8. GABAergic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GABAergic

    A GABAergic or GABAnergic agent is any chemical that modifies the effects of GABA in the body or brain. Some different classes of GABAergic drugs include agonists, antagonists, modulators, reuptake inhibitors and enzymes. [1]

  9. Ganaxolone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganaxolone

    Ganaxolone is thought to modulate both synaptic and extrasynaptic GABA A receptors to normalize over-excited neurons. [3] Ganaxolone's activation of the extrasynaptic receptor is an additional mechanism that provides stabilizing effects that potentially differentiates it from other drugs that increase GABA signaling. [3]
