In pharmacology, a GABA transaminase inhibitor is an enzyme inhibitor that acts upon GABA transaminase.[1] Inhibition of GABA transaminase enzymes reduces the degradation of GABA, leading to increased neuronal GABA concentrations.

Examples include valproic acid,[2] vigabatrin,[3][4] phenylethylidenehydrazine (and drugs that metabolize to it, such as phenelzine[5]), ethanolamine-O-sulfate (EOS), and L-cycloserine.[6]

Certain members of this class are used as anticonvulsants.

One thought on “Cannabaceae”

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
