Abstract: | Summary The GABA-mimetic activities of 4 analogues muscimol, isonipecotic acid, isoguvacine and N-methyl isoguvacine have been examined at the GABA receptor in the rat isolated superior cervical ganglion. The depolarizing action of all 4 analogues could be selectively antagonized by bicuculline methochloride and isopropyl bicyclophosphate. Muscimol was the only analogue more potent than GABA (molar potency ratio=5.08±0.707). The potency of isoguvacine was 0.23±0.026 and isonipecotic acid 0.011±0.0028. N.-methyl isoguvacine was <0.001 GABA. |
