Nipecotic acid is a GABA uptake inhibitor[1] used in scientific research.[2][3] Nipecotic acid has very little to no BBB penetration itself but structural modifications can be done to improve this.[4]

In contrast, prolonged (1 h) exposure to gabapentin enhanced the shunting effect on CAl region excitatory postsynaptic potentials induced by the GABA uptake inhibitor, nipecotic acid, which promotes GABA release.
