It is a protonated amide analogue of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) but does not bind to GABA receptors; instead, it modulates calcium channels. Clinically, it’s used for neuropathic pain, seizures, and sometimes restless legs syndrome. It’s commonly referred to by its brand names and generic form, gabapentin.
