A GABA transaminase inhibitor is an enzyme inhibitor that acts upon GABA transaminase.[1]

Examples include valproic acid,[2] vigabatrin,[3][4] phenylethylidenehydrazine, ethanolamine-O-sulfate (EOS), and L-cycloserine.[5]

Certain members of this class are used as anticonvulsants.

There is some evidence that Melissa officinalis (lemon balm), and rosmarinic acid it contains, inhibits GABA transaminase.[6]
