Y-Acetylenic-GABA

Based on this premise, y-acetylenic GABA (IV) waB synthesized (11) and found to be an irreversible inhibitor of GABA-T, in vitro and in vivo (12). Thus, when GABA-T, partially purified from pig brain, is incubated for varying time periods with y-acetylenic GABA, a time-dependent inactivation process is observed which follows pseudo first-order kinetics. Enzyme half lives range from 28 minutes to 9 minutes with concentrations of inhibitor between 0.029 mM and 0.29 mM. Time dependent inactivation is... [Pg.243]

The use of acetylenic compounds as suicide inhibitors can be illustrated in the case of 7-acetylenic GABA. y-Aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter amino acid, modulates various physiological and pathophysiological processes in the central nervous system. Therefore, elevation of brain GABA levels may be beneficial in the treatment of convulsive disease (epilepsy)... [Pg.741]
