Biological Activity

Description (R)-baclofen (STX 209) is a derivative of gamma-aminobutyric acid primarily used to treat spasticity.
Targets
GABAB receptor [1]
In vitro Baclofen is a skeletal muscle relaxant used in the treatment of spasticity of spinal and cerebral origin. Although it is marketed as a racemic mixture, only the baclofen R-enantiomer is stereospecifically active at so called GAGAB-receptors. [1] Researchers believe that the enantiomers of baclofen have different properties. It is claimed that the R-(−)-enantiomer is about 100 times more active than the S-(+)-enantiomer.
