  2. GABA Receptor
  3. Baclofen

Baclofen, a lipophilic derivative of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), is an orally active, selective metabotropic GABAB receptor (GABABR) agonist. Baclofen mimics the action of GABA and produces slow presynaptic inhibition through the GABAB receptor. Baclofen has high blood brain barrier penetrance. Baclofen has the potential for muscle spasticity research.

Description

Baclofen, a lipophilic derivative of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), is an orally active, selective metabotropic GABAB receptor (GABABR) agonist. Baclofen mimics the action of GABA and produces slow presynaptic inhibition through the GABAB receptor. Baclofen has high blood brain barrier penetrance. Baclofen has the potential for muscle spasticity research[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Baclofen (1, 10 μM; 24 h) causes markedly decreased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, indicating increased cell viability in wild-type or mutant huntingtin-expressing striatal cells (HD19 or HD43). Baclofen significantly increases chymotrypsin-like proteasome activity and cell viability were in the HD43 cells[3].

In Vivo

Baclofen (i.p.; 10 μg/g; twice daily for 3 consecutive days) ameliorates motor deficits in YAC128 HD transgenic mice[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Wild type (WT) and mutant (MT) male YAC128 mice at 13-18 months of age[3]
Dosage: 10 μg/g
Administration: IP; twice daily at 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., for 3 consecutive days; then single dose on the fourth day at 9:00 a.m
Result: Ameliorated motor deficits in YAC128 HD transgenic mice.
Increased proteasome activity and reduces neuronal intranuclear inclusions (NIIs) in YAC128 HD transgenic mice.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
