Application

Gabapentin has been used:
  • as the α2δ-ligand to examine whether the allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) sensitized thermal aversion assay might be useful as a screening method for the identification of presumptive analgesics
  • dissolved in uptake buffer which is used to measure the to measure ASP (trans-4-[4-(Dimethylamino)styryl]-1-methylpyridinium iodide) substrate by organic cation transporter type 2 (OCTN2) using liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry
  • used as an analgesic adjuvant for intraperitoneal injections

Biochem/physiol Actions

Anticonvulsant with unknown mechanism of action; crosses the blood brain barrier; increases GABA concentrations in the brain and reduces excitatory amino acid neurotransmission, perhaps through its effects on voltage-gated calcium channels; exhibits antinociceptive, anxiolytic, neuroprotective and anti-epileptic effects.
Gabapentin serves as a ligand for the α2δ subunit of L-type calcium channels.
