CI-966 is an experimental drug that has been studied for its potential effects on the central nervous system. It is classified as a GABA reuptake inhibitor, which means it inhibits the reuptake of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a key inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain.
Mechanism of Action[edit]
CI-966 works by inhibiting the reuptake of GABA into neurons and glial cells, thereby increasing the levels of GABA in the synaptic cleft. This action enhances the inhibitory effects of GABA, which can lead to a reduction in neural excitability and has potential therapeutic effects for conditions such as epilepsy and anxiety disorders.
