Gabamide, or GABAmide, also known as γ-aminobutyramide (GABAD), is a GABA receptor agonist and GABA analogue, or more specifically the amide of the inhibitory neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA).[1][2] Along with GABA and progabide acid (SL-75.102), gabamide is an active metabolite of the anticonvulsant drug progabide (Gabrene; SL-76.002).[1][2] Unlike progabide, but similarly to GABA, gabamide is unable to cross the blood–brain barrier and hence is peripherally selective.[2] However, gabamide and GABA are formed in the brain from progabide following its entry into this part of the body.[2]
