Possible Interaction: Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid and Cefepime

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Regarding the pathogenesis, as the authors …, the commonly accepted hypothesis is that cefepime acts as a … antagonist of gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) and subsequently inhibits the inhibitory response, which leads to the over-excitation of electrical activity of neurons and the occurrence of neurological symptoms, including seizure [2].

The cefepime level was significantly elevated at 160 µg/mL. Although not completely understood, cefepime is felt to antagonize gamma-aminobutyric acid A (GABA-A) receptors and possibly inhibit GABA release.

Cefepime can cross the blood-brain barrier and can be neurotoxic by competitive albeit weak antagonism of the gamma-aminobutyric acid complex.
