Alone of the known neurotransmitters, GABA is an electroneutral zwitterion (pI = 7.3) at physiological pH. This confers the highest probability of successfully traversing densely packed synaptic gaps without interacting electrostatically with charged entities enroute, making GABA a high fidelity

The perphenazine and fluphenazine GABA esters 3 and 4 evaluated in rat models for antipsychotic activity displayed a significant decrease of catalepsy associated with increased prolactin blood levels. Efficacy was evaluated in the d-amphetamine-induced hyperactivity model, where perphenazine abolished hyperactivity

Drugs used to treat various disorders target GABA A receptors. To develop alpha subunit selective compounds, we synthesized 5-(4-piperidyl)-3-isoxazolol (4-PIOL) derivatives. The 3-isoxazolol moiety was substituted by 1,3,5-oxadiazol-2-one, 1,3,5-oxadiazol-2-thione, and substituted 1,2,4-triazol-3-ol heterocycles with modifications to the basic piperidine substituent
