Bioactivity | Atagabalin (PD 0200390) is a selective GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptor agonist with antianxiety and sedative effects. Atagabalin enhances the activity of the GABA receptor by binding to the α2δ subunit of the GABA receptor, thereby increasing the GABA mediated inhibition. This enhancement results in reduced excitability of neurons, helping to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Atagabalin can be used to study neuropsychiatric disorders, anxiety or sleep disorders[1]. |
