Bemegride (3-Ethyl-3-methylglutarimide), a central nervous system stimulant, serves as an antidote for barbiturate poisoning.

Bicuculline ((+)-Bicuculline) is a light-sensitive competitive antagonist of GABAA receptors, originally identified in 1932 from plant alkaloid extracts, and isolated from Dicentra cucullaria, Adlumia fungosa, Fumariaceae, and various Corydalis species.

CGP 35348 is a selective antagonist of GABAB receptor (EC50 = 34 μM). CGP 35348 can be used in studies of neuromuscular coordination and spatial learning after neonatal brain damage in albino mice.

alpha-Asarone (trans-Asarone) is a psychoactive compound with antidepressant-like activity in mice.

6,2'-Dihydroxyflavone is a novel antagonist of the GABAA receptor.

α-Thujone is an inhibitor of ACh with an IC50 value of 24.7μM.

Nerisopam is an agonist of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor.

Panadiplon (FG 10571) is a selective gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor agonist and partial agonist of 5GABAA, a benzodiazepine receptor, used in the treatment of anxiety disorders.Panadiplon exhibits selectivity for 5GABAA receptors versus 1GABAA receptors.

(E)-GABAB receptor antagonist 1 is a trans-GABAB receptor antagonist that decreases GABA-induced IP3 (inositol trisphosphate) production with an IC50 of 37.9 μM. It is a selective and negative allosteric modulator of GABAB (γ-Aminobutyric acid) receptors.

Alpidem (Ananxyl) is an anxiolytic drug from the imidazopyridine family. Alpidem does not produce sedative effects at normal doses, and is instead used specifically for the treatment of anxiety. Alpidem has nanomolar binding affinity for both the central benzodiaze

Propanidid (Sombrevin) is a gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor (GABAA) agonist and a fast-acting intravenous anesthetic that lowers arterial blood pressure.

AZD 3043 (THRX 918661) is a variant modulator of the γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor, a novel sedative-hypnotic and a potential short-acting anesthetic that produces hypnosis and EEG suppression in rats.AZD 3043 potentiates the γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor and inhibits neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

Phenibut (Aminophenylbutyric acid) is a central depressant and derivative of the naturally occurring inhibitory neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA).

Topiramate (RWJ 17021) is a unique antiseizure medication that is used in the treatment of partial and generalized seizures. Topiramate has been rarely associated with hepatic injury and largely when used in combination with other anticonvulsant medications.

Clomethiazole (Distraneurin) is an orally active GABAA agonist and it is an anticonvulsant agent. It also has the potential for treating convulsive status epilepticus. Chlormethiazole inhibits cytochrome P450 isoforms: CYP2A6 and CYP2E1 in human liver microsomes.

Pivagabine (CXB-722), a hydrophobic 4-aminobutyric acid derivative, exhibits neuromodulatory activity and successfully penetrates the blood-brain barrier in rats. It counteracts the impact of foot shock on GABAA receptor function and corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) levels in the rat brain.

Baclofen (Lioresal) is a synthetic chlorophenyl-butanoic acid derivative used to treat spasms due to spinal cord damage and multiple sclerosis, muscle-relaxing Baclofen acts as a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonist specific for GABA-B receptors. It acts at spinal and supraspinal sites, reducing excitatory transmission.

γ-Aminobutyric acid (4-Aminobutyric acid) is the predominant inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.

Cholesterol Myristate (Cholesteryl Myristate) is a natural steroid found in traditional Chinese medicine that interacts with various ion channels, including the GABAA receptor, nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, and the inward-rectifier potassium ion channel.

1. Pulegone ((+)-Pulegone) has cytotoxicity followed by regenerative cell proliferation is the MOA for Pulegone-induced urothelial tumors in female rats. 2. Pulegone induces a verapamil-sensitive psychostimulant effect that appears to independ on the opening of L-type calcium channels. 3. Pulegone has negative reinforcing properties and seems to possess anxiolytic-like actions unrelated to the benzodiazepine site of the γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor.

Aminooxyacetic acid hemihydrochloride (Carboxymethoxylamine Hemihydrochloride) is a malate-aspartate shuttle (MAS) inhibitor which also inhibits the GABA degradating enzyme GABA-T.
