Bioactivity Phaclofen is a selective GABAB receptor antagonist. Phaclofen is a peripheral and central baclofen antagonist. Phaclofen maybe a potential compound in determining the physiological significance of central and peripheral bicuculline-insensitive receptors with which GABA and (-)-baclofen interact[1][2].
Target GABAB receptor
Invitro The GABAB antagonist phaclofen (500 µM) partly prevents the effect of 1 µM of (R+) baclofen[5].
In Vivo Phaclofen (2 mg/kg; i.p) shows that fewer neuropeptide Y-like immunoreactive fibers are detected in the stimulated cuneate nucleus[4]. Phaclofen (2 mg/kg; s.c) antagonizes the effects of 6 mg/kg R(+) baclofen in dorsal striatum[5].Phaclofen (100 nmol; intrathecal injection) antagonizes the depressant effect of baclofen. Phaclofen (100 nmol) is devoid of stimulatory or depressant effects on spinal reflexes[3]. Animal Model:
