GABOB is a GABA receptor agonist. [6] It has two stereoisomers, and shows stereoselectivity in its actions. [6] Specifically, (R)-(–)-GABOB is a moderate-potency agonist of the GABA B receptor, while (S)-(+)-GABOB is a partial agonist of the GABA B receptor and an agonist of the GABA A receptor. [6]
Gabapentin is a 3,3-disubstituted derivative of GABA. Therefore, it is a GABA analogue, as well as a γ-amino acid. [99] [100] Specifically, it is a derivative of GABA with a pentyl disubstitution at 3 position, hence, the name - gabapentin, in such a way as to form a six-membered ring.
Doxylamine is generally safe for administration to healthy adults. Doses of doxylamine of up to 1,600 mg/day for 6 months have been given to adults with schizophrenia, with little toxicity encountered. [33] The median lethal dose (LD 50) is estimated to be 50–500 mg/kg in humans. [34]
Muscimol (also known as agarin or pantherine) is one of the principal psychoactive constituents of Amanita muscaria and related species of mushroom. Muscimol is a potent and selective orthosteric agonist for the GABA A receptor [3] and displays sedative-hypnotic, depressant and hallucinogenic [citation needed] psychoactivity.
The gabapentinoids are 3-substituted derivatives of GABA; hence, they are GABA analogues, as well as γ-amino acids. [3] [4] Specifically, pregabalin is (S)-(+)-3-isobutyl-GABA, phenibut is 3-phenyl-GABA, [28] and gabapentin is a derivative of GABA with a cyclohexane ring at the 3 position (or, somewhat inappropriately named, 3-cyclohexyl-GABA).
The therapeutic as well as adverse effects of midazolam are due to its effects on the GABA A receptors; midazolam does not activate GABA A receptors directly but, as with other benzodiazepines, it enhances the effect of the endogenous neurotransmitter GABA on the GABA A receptors (increasing the frequency of Cl − channel opening) resulting in ...
Baclofen, sold under the brand name Lioresal among others, is a medication used to treat muscle spasticity, such as from a spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis. [8] [9] It may also be used for hiccups and muscle spasms near the end of life [9], and off-label to treat alcohol use disorder [10] [11] or opioid withdrawal symptoms. [12]
Furthermore, a study examining polymorphisms in the GABA receptor beta 2 subunit gene found an association with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and examined three SNPs and their effects on disease frequency and treatment dosage. [62]
