After a decrease in the importance of steroids in the field of drug research during the last 20 years, a renewal is now being observed. Recently, some fluorinated and fluoroalkylated steroids have been launched or are in advanced phases of clinical development, such as the dutasteride (5a-reductase inhibitor), CCD-3693 (GABA agonist), fulvestrant and antiprogestine (antihormone), and fluasterone (diabetes) (Figure 4.14). Details on the synthesis on these compounds can be found in Chapter 8. [Pg.108]

The second category consists of only one drug, piperazine, an older agent that apparently acts as a GABA agonist at the neuromuscular junction and causes flaccid paralysis of the nematode. [Pg.1201]

Spasticity results from lesions at various sites within the central nervous system and spinal cord. Drugs used include the GABA agonist baclofen, diazepam and tizanidine (an Oj-adrenoceptor agonist). [Pg.429]

Baclofen is considered a GABA agonist. The drug thus decreases afferent activity at the level of the spinal cord, resulting in a decrease in the release of glutamic acid and aspartic acid, and decreased activation of a-motor neurons. In addition, the drug mediates some CNS depression, particularly in large doses. This supraspinal action also contributes to muscle relaxation. [Pg.191]
