Kynurenine and kynurenic acid are known to produce convulsions in rats and mice and it has been reported that kynurenine can displace GABA from its neuronal binding sites. The present study shows that neither kynurenine nor kynurenic acid are antagonist

A rapid and simple reversed-phase liquid chromatographic method that did not require the derivatization of 4-amino-3-hydroxybutyric acid (GABOB) was developed and validated. The method proved to be suitable for the determination of GABOB concentrations in finished pharmaceutical product (tablets). The

gamma-Amino-beta-[3H]hydroxybutyric acid ([3H]-GABOB) was formed in rat brain from 2-[3H]-hydroxyputrescine that had been chemically synthesized from 2-oxoputrescine and [3H]sodium borohydride. After the injection of 2-[3H]hydroxyputrescine into the lateral ventricle of a rat brain, the rat was killed and then the
