Positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors

BL-1020 Mesylate (CYP-1020 Mesylate) is an orally available GABA A receptor agonist and D2 antagonist that decreases dopamine activity and enhances GABAA activity.BL-1020 Mesylate has been used in the study of schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, and bi-directional cognitive impairment.

ELB-139 is a GABAA receptor agonist that can be used to study depression and epilepsy.

NS-2710 is a non-selective GABA(A) receptor partial agonist for the study of anxiety disorders.

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.

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

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

Riluzole (RP-54274) is a glutamate antagonist (RECEPTORS, GLUTAMATE) used as an anticonvulsant (ANTICONVULSANTS) and to prolong the survival of patients with AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS.

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

Gabapentin (Neurontin) is an Anti-epileptic Agent. The physiologic effect of gabapentin is by means of Decreased Central Nervous System Disorganized Electrical Activity.

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.

Tramiprosate (Alzhemed) is an orally active, blood-brain-barrier-crossing, naturally occurring amino acid found in a variety of red seaweeds that binds soluble Aβ and maintains it in a non-protofibrillar form.It is a GABA analog with neuroprotective, anticonvulsant, and antihypertensive activity.

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

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.

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.

Methionine (D-Methionine) (MRX-1024; D-Methionine) is an effective chemoprotective agent which can also inhibit the neuronal activity through GABAA receptor activation.

Baicalin (Baicalein 7-O-β-D-glucuronide) is a prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor isolated from scutellaria baicalensis, with antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-HIV properties.

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.
