Agonist responses of (R)- and (S)-3-fluoro-γ-aminobutyric acids suggest an enantiomeric fold for GABA binding to GABAC receptors

Abstract

The enantiomers of 3F-GABA were evaluated on GABAC 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 GABAA receptors.
