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. GABA receptor antagonist - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GABA_receptor_antagonist

   In general these drugs produce stimulant and convulsant effects, and are mainly used for counteracting overdoses of sedative drugs. Examples include bicuculline, securinine and metrazol, and the benzodiazepine GABA A receptor antagonist flumazenil. Other agents which may have GABA A receptor antagonism include the antibiotic ciprofloxacin, [1 ...

5. GABA analogue - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GABA_analogue

   A GABA analogue is a compound which is an analogue or derivative of the neurotransmitter gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) (the IUPAC of which is 4-aminobutanoic acid). Many GABA analogues are used as drugs , especially as anticonvulsants , sedatives , and anxiolytics .

6. GABA transaminase inhibitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GABA_transaminase_inhibitor

   Inhibition of GABA transaminase enzymes reduces the degradation of GABA, leading to increased neuronal GABA concentrations. Examples include valproic acid , [ 2 ] vigabatrin , [ 3 ] [ 4 ] phenylethylidenehydrazine (and drugs that metabolize to it, such as phenelzine [ 5 ] ), ethanolamine- O -sulfate (EOS), and L- cycloserine .

7. γ-Amino-β-hydroxybutyric acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Γ-amino-β-hydroxybutyric...

   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]
