Description

Carboxymethoxyamine hemihydrochloride (CMAH) is a gamma-aminobutyric acid analogue that has inhibitory properties. It is used in the treatment of syncytial virus infections and has been shown to reduce the severity of symptoms, as well as shorten the course of the disease. CMAH binds to the receptors in cells that are sensitive to gamma-aminobutyric acid. This binding inhibits uptake of calcium ions into cells, thereby reducing intracellular Ca2+ levels and inhibiting synaptic transmission. CMAH also has an effect on aminotransferase activity, which may be due to its ability to inhibit protein synthesis or dephosphorylate proteins.
