Description

White or almost white powder.


Vigabatrin is a second- generation anti- epileptic drug (AED), known under the proprietary brand name of Sabril® (Sanofi, Paris) in the UK and USA.


Vigabatrin, the gamma-vinyl derivative of GABA, is a new anticonvulsant reportedly effective in the treatment of intractable seizures unresponsive to currently available therapy. Mechanistically vigabatrin is a potent irreversible GABA aminotransferase inhibitor which modifies the enzyme's active-site by Michael addition. Other potential indications have been suggested for vigabatrin, including depression and schizophrenia.


ChEBI: A gamma-amino acid having a gamma-vinyl GABA structure. It is an irreversible inhibitor of gamma-aminobutyric 664 acid transaminase


Vigabatrin, a 4-vinyl analog of GABA, produces its pharmacologicalaction by irreversibly blocking GABA catabolismcatalyzed by GABA-T as discussed earlier. It is marketedin Europe and Canada as an adjunctive treatment ofpatients with partial seizures, but it has yet to gain FDA approvalin the United States even after extensive clinical trials.The main concern with this drug is its ability to causea reversible visual field defect associated with retinal functionin the eyes.
