• The exact mechanism of action is unknown but it has been described that this compound inhibits excitatory neuron activity by interacting with voltage-gated calcium channels in cortical neurons
Application
• Gabapentin has been used as the α2δ-ligand to examine whether the allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) sensitized thermal aversion assay might be useful as a screening method for the identification of presumptive analgesics
