Abstract
Penicillins are thought to be GABA receptor antagonists. In order to determine the affinities of various penicillin derivatives for the GABA receptor, their potencies as inhibitors of specific [3H]GABA binding to rat brain membranes were investigated. All investigated penicillins inhibit specific [3H]GABA binding, with IC50 values ranging from 2 to 60 mM. The results are consistent with the assumption that penicillins are weak GABA receptor antagonists.Entities:
