Description

Gabapentin is a potent, orally active P/Q type Ca2+ channel blocker. Gabapentin inhibits neuronal Ca2+ influx and reduction of neurotransmitter release. Gabapentin is a GABA analog that can be used to relieve neuropathic pain[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Gabapentin (0-300 μM) produces a concentration-dependent inhibition of the K+-induced [Ca2+]i increase in synaptosomes (IC50=14?μM; maximal inhibition by 36%)[1].
? Gabapentin (100? μM) decreases the K+-evoked release of endogenous aspartate and glutamate in neocortical slices by 16 and 18%, respectively[1].
? Gabapentin (0-1000 μM) reduces the K+-evoked [3H]-noradrenaline release in neocortical slices (IC50=48?μM; maximal inhibition of 46%) but not from synaptosomes[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Gabapentin (5 and 10 mg/kg; i.p.; once; male BALB/c mice) has improving effects on spatial and emotional cognitive performance of naive mice in Morris water maze (MWM), passive avoidance (PA) and modified elevated plus maze (mEPM) tasks[2].
? Gabapentin (1-100 mg/kg; i.p.; once; male mice) has analgesic effect and reduces writhing in a dose-dependent manner[3].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
