Guvacine
Guvacine Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Guvacine is a pyridine alkaloid found in the Areca nut (also known as the Betel nut). It is an experimental drug with no approved indication. Experimental studies are still being investigated to determine all of the physiological effects and mechanisms of action of guvacine. Currently it has been determined that guvacine is a specific GABA reuptake inhibitor with no significant affinity at GABA receptors.

How Guvacine works
Experimental studies are still being investigated to determine the exact mechanisms of action of guvacine. What is known is that guvacine binds selectively to presynaptic GABA reuptake transporters and prevents the reuptake of GABA, but has no affinity for GABA postsynaptic receptors.
