An in vitro investigation into conformational aspects of gabapentin.
Conformational analysis of constrained cyclohexane systems was pioneered fifty years ago by Barton and Hassel. We now report an investigation based on a conformational analysis of a number of novel cyclohexane based Gabapentin analogues coupled with their in vitro evaluation at the Gabapentin binding site. These data are used to propose a possible binding conformation for Gabapentin.
