Abstract
The enantiomers of 3F-GABA were evaluated on GABA(C) receptors. Both enantiomers were agonists, with the (R)-enantiomer being an order of magnitude more potent. This result is consistent with a folded binding mode for GABA, a conclusion which suggests a different binding mode to that found in the related but pharmacologically distinct GABA(A) receptors.
