Application

Phaclofen has been used to block GABAB receptor.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phaclofen plays a vital role in identifying the physiological importance of central and peripheral bicuculline-insensitive receptors with which GABA and (−) baclofen interact. Phaclofen acts as a GABAB receptor antagonist. Phaclofen has an ability to reversibly block the late, bicuculline resistant, K⁺ dependent inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) logged in projection cells of the cat and rat dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus and in rat hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons.

General description

Phaclofen is a phosphonic acid derivative of baclofen.
