Application

Tiagabine hydrochloride was used to study serotoninergic transmission in G1 cells. It has also been used to study its anti-aging effects on the sensory neurons of C. elegans.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tiagabine hydrochloride is an anticonvulsant and selective GABA reuptake inhibitor through inhibition of the synaptic GABA transporter GAT1.
Tiagabine increases the synaptic GABA and enhances the neuronal inhibition. It is effective as adjunctive treatment of epilepsy and anxiety disorders.

Anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) have a variety of mechanisms of action which are reflected through different anticonvulsant activities and behavioral effects. Two categories of AEDs are considered based on psychotropic profile. The first group is characterized by potentiation of gamma-aminobutyric acid
