baclofen

Baclofen (Lioresal) is a synthetic chlorophenyl-butanoic acid derivative used to treat spasms due to spinal cord damage and multiple sclerosis, muscle-relaxing Baclofen acts as a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonist specific for GABA-B receptors. It acts at spinal and supraspinal sites, reducing excitatory transmission.

Baclofen hydrochloride (4-amino-3-(4-chlorophenyl)butanoic acid hydron chloride) is a GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID derivative that is a specific GABA-B RECEPTORS agonist. It is used in the treatment of MUSCLE SPASTICITY, especially that due to SPINAL CORD INJURIES. Its therapeutic effects result from actions at spinal and supraspinal sites, generally the reduction of excitatory transmission.

Arbaclofen hydrochloride, a Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid derivative, is a specific agonist of GABA-B receptors, it is used to treat spasticity, especially that due to spinal cord damage. It acts at spinal and supraspinal sites, generally reduces excitatory tra

(R)-baclofen (STX209), a derivative of gamma-aminobutyric acid, is commonly utilized for the treatment of spasticity.

(S)-Baclofen has effects on excitation in the ascending auditory pathway leading to it a potential reagent for the treatment of hyperactive auditory disorders such as hyperacusis and tinnitus.

Baclofen-d4 is a deuterated compound of Baclofen. Baclofen has a CAS number of 1134-47-0. Baclofen is a synthetic chlorophenyl-butanoic acid derivative used to treat spasms due to spinal cord damage and multiple sclerosis, muscle-relaxing Baclofen acts as a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonist specific for GABA-B receptors. It acts at spinal and supraspinal sites, reducing excitatory transmission.

Arbaclofen placarbil( XP19986) is a GABA(B) receptor agonist.Arbaclofen Placarbil is a novel R-baclofen prodrug with improved absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination properties compared to R-baclofen. And it can reduce postprandial reflux in

Unifiram is a nootropic agent.1It increases acetylcholine (ACh) release in the rat cerebral cortexin vivoand induces a long-lasting increase in the amplitude of field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSPs) in the rat hippocampal CA1 region (EC50= 27 nM). It does not bind to serotonin (5-HT), dopamine, muscarinic, nicotinic, adrenergic, glutamate, histamine, opioid, or GABA receptors at 1 μM. Unifiram (0.1 mg kg) improves memory in non-memory-impaired rats in a social learning test.2It also prevents memory deficits induced by the anticholinergic agent scopolamine, nicotinic receptor antagonist mecamylamine, GABABreceptor agonist baclofen, or α2-adrenergic receptor agonist clonidine in the passive avoidance test in mice when administered at a dose of 0.01 mg kg and prevents memory deficits induced by the AMPA kainate glutamate receptor antagonist NBQX at 0.1 mg kg.1 1.Romanelli, M.N., Galeotti, N., Ghelardini, C., et al.Pharmacological characterization of DM232 (unifiram) and DM235 (sunifiram), new potent cognition enhancersCNS Drug Rev.12(1)39-52(2006) 2.Ghelardini, C., Galeotti, N., Gualtieri, F., et al.The novel nootropic compound DM232 (unifiram) ameliorates memory impairment in mice and ratsDrug Develop.

Phaclofen (3-Amino-2-(4-chlorophenyl)propanephosphonic acid) is a selective GABAB receptor antagonist, which can partially antagonize the sedative effect of (-)-baclofen, and reversibly antagonize the inhibition of cholinergic convulsive response of guinea pig ileum and distal colon by baclofen or GABA. Inhibits the cholinergic convulsive response in the guinea pig ileum and distal colon by baclofen or GABA.

4-Fluorophenibut (developmental code name CGP-11130; also known as β-(4-fluorophenyl)-γ-aminobutyric acid or β-(4-fluorophenyl)-GABA) is a GABAB receptor agonist which was never marketed. It is selective for the GABAB receptor over the GABAA receptor (IC50 = 1.70 μM and > 100 μM, respectively). The drug is a GABA analogue and is closely related to baclofen (β-(4-chlorophenyl)-GABA), tolibut (β-(4-methylphenyl)-GABA), and phenibut (β-phenyl-GABA). It is less potent as a GABAB receptor agonist than baclofen but more potent than phenibut.
