Pharmacology

PharmacodynamicsExperimental studies are still being investigated to determine all of the physiological effects of guvacine.
Mechanism of Action · 1 item

Experimental studies are still being investigated to determine the exact mechanisms of action of guvacine. What is known is that guvacine binds selectively to presynaptic GABA reuptake transporters and prevents the reuptake of GABA, but has no affinity for GABA postsynaptic receptors.

Applications · 1 item

UsesGuvacine Hydrochloride is a GABA uptake inhibitor (hGABA T-1, rGABA T-2, hGABA T-3 and hBGT-1) (1,2,3). Gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain (4). Guvacine Hydrochloride may be useful for treating neuropsychiatric disorders.
