Abstract
We discuss the potential use of multicomponent reactions in developing small-molecule probes of GABA(A) receptor function. Two examples that illustrate this approach are presented: the synthesis of a class of compounds that specifically modulate the function of GABA(A) receptors containing the δ-subunit, and also 'caged' GABA derivatives. A caged GABA is a photolabile precursor of GABA that releases GABA upon photolysis.Entities:
