MedKoo CAT#: 318867

CAS#: 145821-59-6 (HCl)

Description: Tiagabine is an anti-convulsive medication. The medication is also utilized in the treatment of panic disorder, as are a few other anticonvulsants. Tiagabine increases the level of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system by blocking the GABA transporter and hence is classified as a GABA reuptake inhibitor.

Biological target: Tiagabine hydrochloride is a potent and selective GABA reuptake inhibitor, used as an anticonvulsant agent, with IC50s of 67, 446 and 182 nM for GABA uptake in Synaptosomes, Neurons and Glia, respectively.
In vitro activity: The effects of Tiagabine on genomic DNA of cortical rat astrocytes was studied in vitro. To evaluate DNA damage, a relatively simple technique called Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis or Comet assay was used. Tiagabine was dissolved in culture medium and added at concentration of 1, 10, 20 and 50 microg/ml on 12-day old cultured astrocytes. In presence of 1 and 10 microg/ml of Tiagabine, no DNA damage was observed after 48 h of treatment. A moderate DNA damage was instead observed for cells exposed to 20 microg/ml of antiepileptic drug. Finally, DNA fragmentation was more evident after treatment with 50 microg/ml of Tiagabine Tiagabine, at the usual recommended doses, does not appear to influence negatively the cortical rat astrocytes, inducing DNA fragmentation only at very high concentrations.

In vivo activity: The neuroprotective effect of tiagabine was investigated in global ischemia in gerbils. Two groups of the animals received 15 mg/kg of tiagabine 30 min before ischemia. In the first group, the temperature was controlled at 37 degrees C from time of injection to 1 h after ischemia. In the second group, the temperature was left uncontrolled to see the hypothermic effect of tiagabine. Microdialysis was performed in CA1 region of hippocampus in half of the animals in each group to assess the levels of glutamate and gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA). Animal behavior was also tested in 28-day groups in a radial-arm maze. Histology was done 7 and 28 days after ischemia in CA1 region of hippocampus to assess early and delayed effect of drug. A significant suppression of glutamate was noted in both groups (P<0.01). Behavioral results showed that in the temperature-uncontrolled treatment group, animals significantly reduced their working memory errors as compared to the temperature-controlled treatment group. Histology revealed a significant neuroprotection (P<0.001) in the temperature-uncontrolled treatment group. In the temperature-controlled treatment group, however, neuroprotection was insignificant (P>0.05). A third group of animals received the same dose of tiagabine 3 h after ischemia. Temperature was not controlled in this group. The animals were sacrificed after 7 days so no behavior testing was carried out. Histology showed no neuroprotection in this group (P>0.05). These results show that tiagabine offers a significant neuroprotection in global ischemia in gerbils when given 30 min before ischemia but not when given 3 h after ischemia.
