Gabapentin is a synthetic anticonvulsant belonging to the chemical class of gabapentinoids, which are structural analogs of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Despite its structural similarity to GABA, gabapentin does not interact with GABA receptors. Instead, it binds to the α2δ subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system, reducing calcium influx and decreasing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters.
Gabapentin is often thought to act like GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) due to its structural similarity, but it does not bind to GABA receptors, nor does it influence GABA synthesis or uptake. Instead, gabapentin has a unique mechanism of action that involves the nervous system’s calcium channels.
