Most of the pharmacological properties of gabapentin are explained by its binding to just one isoform – α 2 δ-1. [83] [14] The endogenous α-amino acids L-leucine and L-isoleucine, which resemble gabapentin in chemical structure, bind α 2 δ with similar affinity to gabapentin and are present in human cerebrospinal fluid at micromolar ...
The oral bioavailability of gabapentin enacarbil (as gabapentin) is greater than or equal to 68%, across all doses assessed (up to 2,800 mg), with a mean of approximately 75%. [ 24 ] [ 1 ] In contrast to the other gabapentinoids, the pharmacokinetics of phenibut have been little-studied, and its oral bioavailability is unknown. [ 15 ]
Pregabalin was found to possess 6-fold higher affinity than gabapentin for α 2 δ subunit-containing VDCCs in one study. [100] [101] However, another study found that pregabalin and gabapentin had similar affinities for the human recombinant α 2 δ-1 subunit (K i =32 nM and 40 nM, respectively). [102]
In Wikidata. Anticonvulsants (also known as antiepileptic drugs, antiseizure drugs, or anti-seizure medications ( ASM )) are a diverse group of pharmacological agents used in the treatment of epileptic seizures. [ 1] Anticonvulsants are also increasingly being used in the treatment of bipolar disorder [ 2][ 3] and borderline personality ...
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 two receptors GABA-α and GABA-ρ are ion channels ...
The main pharmacological action of temazepam is to increase the effect of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid at the GABA A receptor. This causes sedation, motor impairment, ataxia, anxiolysis, anticonvulsant effects, muscle relaxation, and a reinforcing effect.
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]
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 .
