NNC052090 is a GABA uptake inhibitor that displays moderate selectivity for BGT-1 transporters with Ki values are 1.4, 15, 19 and 41 μM for hBGT-1, hGAT-3, hGAT-1 and hGAT-2 respectively. NNC052090 also displays affinity at α1- and D2-receptors with IC50
SKF89976A is a potent GABA uptake inhibitor, which is selective for GAT-1 (IC50 values are 0.13, 550, 944 and 7210 μM for hGAT-1, rGAT-2, hGAT-3 and hBGT-1 respectively). SKF89976A inhibits transport current competitively (Ki = 7 μM) and transmitter-gated current non-competitively (Ki = 0.03 nM). It is able to pass the blood-brain barrier after systemic administration and is active in vivo.
