Vigabatrin is a newer antiepileptic sold as Sabril® in the US, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom and as Sabrilex in Denmark. The drug is used as an adjunctive treatment of complex partial seizures in adults and for infantile spasms in pediatric patients one month to two years of age. This certified Snap-N-Spike® Solution standard is suitable for use in LC/MS or GC/MS applications including forensic analysis, clinical toxicology, urine drug testing, or pharmaceutical research.

Vigabatrin (VGB) is a commonly prescribed antiepileptic drug designed to inhibit GABA-transaminase, effectively halting seizures. Unfortunately, VGB treatment is also associated with the highest frequencies of peripheral visual field constriction of any of the antiepileptic drugs and the mechanisms that

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are spiking neurons, which send visual information to the brain, through the optic nerve. RGC degeneration occurs in retinal diseases, either as a primary process or secondary to photoreceptor loss. Mechanisms involved in this neuronal degeneration
Infantile spasms (IS; West syndrome) is a severe form of encephalopathy that typically affects infants younger than 2 years old. Pediatricians, pediatric neurologists, and other pediatric health care providers are all potentially key early contacts for families who have an
We have synthesized three analogues of 4-amino-5-fluorohexanoic acids as potential inactivators of γ-aminobutyric acid aminotransferase (GABA-AT), which were designed to combine the potency of their shorter chain analogue, 4-amino-5-fluoropentanoic acid (AFPA), with the greater enzyme selectivity of the antiepileptic vigabatrin
