Gabapentin, an organic compound with the chemical formula C9H17NO2, is a white to off-white crystalline powder, mainly used as an antiepileptic drug for the additional treatment of patients with localized seizures that are not satisfactorily controlled or tolerated by conventional antiepileptic drugs and patients with localized seizures and subsequent generalized epilepsy.
1. Inhibit the high-frequency firing of neurons: Gabapentin can inhibit the high-frequency firing of neurons by regulating the inflow of calcium ions, thereby reducing symptoms such as pain and convulsions.
2. Promote the release of GABA: GABA is a neurotransmitter that can inhibit the excitability of neurons, and gabapentin can promote the release of GABA, thereby enhancing its inhibitory effect.
3. Reduce the release of glutamate: Glutamate is a neurotransmitter that can increase the excitability of neurons, and gabapentin can reduce the release of glutamate, thereby reducing the excitability of neurons.
