GABA-T ASO
GABA-T ASO is an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide targeting GABA-transaminase (GABA-T) mRNA, which blocks GABA-T synthesis and elevates GABA levels. GABA-T ASO is complementary to the translation initiation codon region. GABA-T ASO exerts a protective effect against psychostimulant-induced convulsions. GABA-T ASO prevents pentylenetetrazol-induced convulsions. GABA-T ASO can be used for research on convulsions.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vivo
GABA-T ASO (7.2 nM; i.c.v.; single administration; 15 hours before PTZ) prevents pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures in mice[1].

-
Animal Model:Balb/cByJ (male, 21-32 g)[1]
-
Dosage:0.288 nM; 0.864 nM; 1.152 nM; 1.440 nM; 1.44 nM (15 h); 1.44 nM (8 h); 1.44 nM (36 h)
-
Administration:unilateral i.c.v.; single administration; challenge 15, 8, or 36 hours later
-
Result:Induced seizures in mice at 0.288 nM with 100%.
Experienced seizures at 0.864 nM with 83%.
Experienced seizures at 1.152 nM with one mouse.

Animal Model:Balb/cByJ (male, 21-32 g)[1]
-
Dosage:1.44 nM; 7.2 nM
-
Administration:unilateral i.c.v.; single administration; PTZ challenge 15 hours later
-
Result:The 1.44 nM dose of GABA-T ASO had no effect on seizures.
All mice given 7.2 nM GABA-T ASO were seizure free.
