title: [Fenibut binding with bicuculline-insensitive GABA receptors in the rat brain].
abstract: (+/-) Fenibut beta-phenyl-GABA) was not able to displace 3H-GABA in Na+ independent GABA binding (IC50 greater than 250 microM). Nevertheless, (+/-) fenibut and (+/-) baclofen effectively displaced 3H-GABA in Ca2+ dependent GABA binding in the presence of 50 microM (+) bicuculline. (+/-) Fenibut was less potent in this respect. It is suggested that fenibut may act via bicuculline-insensitive GABA receptors.
