It was notorious for causing anxiety and depression, and as a result, was replaced by newer, more modern drugs instead.owever there are also a number of pharmaceuticals and research chemicals that act as reuptake inhibitors for other neurotransmitters such as glutamate, Î³-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glycine, adenosine, choline (the precursor of acetylcholine), and the endocannabinoids, among others.
A leukotriene antagonist, also known as a leukotriene inhibitor, is a type of pharmaceutical agent that minimizes the activity of a chemical species known as the leukotrienes.nother mechanism of action that a leukotriene antagonist can use is to decrease the production of the leukotrienes. These medications work by inhibiting steps leading up to the formation of this inflammatory species. These medications are sometimes called the leukotriene synthesis inhibitors.
