USE OF GABAPENTIN IN THE TREATMENT OF ANXIETY AND PANIC DISORDERS

摘要

The instant invention is novel uses of known cyclic amino acids. Such compounds as gabapentin are useful in the treatment of anxiety and in the treatment and/or prevention of panic attacks. The partial N-terminal sequence of the gabapentin binding protein has been determined to be identical to the N-terminal sequence of the mature alpha 2 delta subunit of the L-type Ca2+ channel from rabbit skeletal muscle.
