Positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors

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.

DL-Borneol ((endo)-Borneol) is a small molecule extracted from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is an orally bioadjuvant that improves drug delivery to the brain and is commonly used as an adjuvant ingredient in TCM for the treatment of cardio-cerebral vascular diseases.

Glabridin (KB-289522) may serve as an anti-inflammatory agent in diabetes-related vascular dysfunction, through regulating the synthesis and activity of iNOS under high-glucose levels; may possess a therapeutic effect on metabolic disorders( such as diabetes and hyperglycemia), by modulating glucose metabolism through AMPK in skeletal muscle cells. Glabridin may have potential as a chemopreventive agent against liver Y metastasis, by inhibiting the invasion of human HCC cells.

6,7-Dimethylisatin (6,7-dimethyl-1H-indole-2,3-dione) inhibits hGAT3 with IC50 of 108 μM. 6,7-Dimethylisatin also inhibits hBGT1, hGAT2.

Urethane (Ethylurethane) was an antineoplastic agent .Now is used for other medicinal purposes.

Divalproex Sodium (Valproate semisodium) binds to and inhibits gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transaminase and its anticonvulsant activity may be exerted by increasing brain concentration of GABA and by inhibiting enzymes that catabolize GABA or block the reuptake of GABA into glia and nerve endings. It also is an HDAC inhibitor, Comprised of sodium valproate and valproic acid with anticonvulsant and antiepileptic activities. Divalproex may also work by suppressing repetitive neuronal firing through the inhibition of voltage-sensitive sodium channels.

L-Cycloserine ((-)-Cycloserine) irreversibly inhibits GABA pyridoxal 5′-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase in E. coli, as well in the brains of various animals, results in increased levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in vivo.

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

Valproic acid sodium salt (Sodium Valproate) is the sodium salt form of valproic acid with anti-epileptic activity. Valproic acid sodium salt is converted into its active form, valproate ion, in blood. Although the mechanism of action remains to be elucidated, Valproic acid sodium salt increases concentrations of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, probably due to inhibition of the enzymes responsible for the catabolism of GABA. This potentiates the synaptic actions of GABA. Valproic acid sodium salt may also affect potassium channels, thereby creating a direct membrane-stabilizing effect.

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.
