• Description: Gabapentin is a pharmaceutical preparation that is used for the treatment of epilepsy and neuropathic pain. It is also used for postherpetic neuralgia, bipolar disorder, and anxiety disorders. Gabapentin has been shown to bind reversibly to the enzyme adenylate cyclase, which regulates the production of the second messenger cAMP. The binding of gabapentin to this enzyme prevents the conversion of ATP into cAMP and blocks signal transduction. This leads to an increase in intracellular levels of adenine nucleotides (ATP) and suppression of neuronal activity. Gabapentin has high values in kinetic tests because it is a reversible inhibitor with a low Km value. It binds irreversibly to nucleophilic substitutions, which are enzymes that catalyze reactions involving hydrolysis or transfer of one or more hydrogen ions from one molecule to another in a chemical reaction. A fluorine atom on gabapentin's structure may account for its
