Tiagabine HCl

SKU: orb1300154

Description

Tiagabine hydrochloride is a nipecotic acid-derived anticonvulsant compound that acts as a selective GABA reuptake inhibitor. It is widely used in neuroscience research to study GABAergic neurotransmission in models of epilepsy, seizures, and anxiety, both in vitro and in vivo.

Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  Tiagabine offers a significant neuroprotection in global ischemia in gerbils when given 30 min before ischemia but not when given 3 h after ischemia.
• In Vitro:
  Tiagabine is a potent inhibitor of GABA uptake into neurons and glial cells. It is involved in modulating GABA levels, especially in areas such as the hippocampus and thalamus. Tiagabine not only affected the decay kinetics of the IPSCs, it also reduced the frequency of occurrence of both spontaneous and miniature IPSCs.
