Biological activities

Gabapentin is a γ-aminobutyric acid-B (GABAB) receptor agonist. Gabapentin inhibits [3H] GABA binding in a GABAB receptor-selective binding assay. Gabapentin inhibits the high K+-evoked activation of voltage-dependent calcium channels in a murine mIL-tsA58 cell line. Gabapentin exhibits an efficacy at the GABAB(1a,2) heterodimer with an EC50 of 15 µM.[1] Gabapentin is effective in the treatment of pain and sleep interference associated with postherpetic neuralgis (PHN). [2] Gabapentin can bind to the α2δ subunit of voltage-dependent calcium channels with an IC50 of 80 nM. [3] In vivo, gabapentin inhibits transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations in Labrador retriever dogs. [1] In the rat formalin test, gabapentin (10 - 300 mg kg-1) dose-dependently inhibits the late phase of the nociceptive response with respective minimum effective doses (MED) of 10 and 30 mg kg-1, s.c. The intrathecal administration of gabapentin dose-dependently (1-100 µg/animal) blocks carrageenan- induced mechanical hyperalgesia. [3]
