Phenytoin MOA
Use-dependent Na channel block
phenobarbital MOA
Enhancement of GABA at GABAA-type channel (iontropic, Cl- conductive)
carbamazepine MOA
Sodium channel block: use-dependent block; limit high-frequency repetitive firing of action potentials
ethosuximide moa
Ca T-channel block
valproate MOA
Use-dependent Na channel block
Ca T-channel block
lorazepam moa
Enhance GABA action at GABA-A receptors (ligand-gated Cl channels) by increasing the frequency of channel opening in presence of GABA (can't open channels in absence of GABA)
Selective for GABA-A heteromers that contain alpha-gamma subunit interfaces
diazepam MOA
Enhance GABA action at GABA-A receptors (ligand-gated Cl channels) by increasing the frequency of channel opening in presence of GABA (can't open channels in absence of GABA)
Selective for GABA-A heteromers that contain alpha-gamma subunit interfaces
Clonazepam mOA
Enhance GABA action at GABA-A receptors (ligand-gated Cl channels) by increasing the frequency of channel opening in presence of GABA (can't open channels in absence of GABA)
Selective for GABA-A heteromers that contain alpha-gamma subunit interfaces
gabapentin moa
Block amino acid transport
