Bicyclo-GABA
Bicyclo-GABA is a selective betaine/GABA transporter 1 (BGT1) competitive, non-transported inhibitor with an IC50 of 590 nM. Bicyclo-GABA exhibits low micromolar agonistic activity at α1β2γ2 GABAA receptors with an EC50 of 5.1 μM. Bicyclo-GABA displays 129 times higher activity for BGT1 than GAT3. Bicyclo-GABA serves as a valuable tool compound for deciphering its elusive pharmacological role in the brain and periphery.

Bicyclo-GABA (0.1-10000 nM; 3 min) potently inhibits [3H]GABA uptake at human BGT1 (IC50 = 1.5 μM)[1].
Bicyclo-GABA (0-10 μM) acts as a non-transported competitive inhibitor of human BGT1 (KB = 0.47 μM)[1].
Bicyclo-GABA (0.01-100 μM) shows agonistic activity at human α1β2γ2 GABAA receptors (EC50 = 5.1 μM)[1].
Bicyclo-GABA modulates inhibitory activity at BGT1 and GAT3 mutants (IC50 range: 0.040-610 μM) in the cell-based [3H]GABA uptake assay[1].
