Application

Saclofen has been used as a GABAB receptor antagonist to study the analgesic effect of repeated injections of oxycodone in rats.
Saclofen has been used to prevent the inhibitory action of oxytocin on capsaicin-induced glutamatergic spontaneous excitatory transmission in rat neurons.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Saclofen is the sulphonic analog of baclofen and is a selective GABAB receptor antagonist.
Saclofen might possess sympathetic nervous system-dependent anti-inflammatory action.

Ginsenoside Rb1 (Rb1), one of the most abundant protopanaxadiol-type ginsenosides, exerts excellent neuroprotective effects even though it has low intracephalic exposure. The present study aimed to elucidate the apparent contradiction between the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Rb1 by studying the

Synaptic plasticity is thought to provide a molecular mechanism for learning and memory. N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor-mediated plasticity requires that N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor activation coincides with postsynaptic depolarizing potentials (DPSP(A)'s). Pentobarbital, in high concentrations, enhances DPSP(A)'s, but high concentrations suppress synaptic plasticity, probably

Saclofen (the direct sulphonic analogue of baclofen) is a competitive antagonist of baclofen at GABAB receptors in guinea pig ileum and rat cortical slices (estimated pA2 = 5.3), at least twice as potent as 2-hydroxy-saclofen (pA2 = 5). A series

Cue-induced drug-seeking in rodents progressively increases after withdrawal from cocaine, suggesting that cue-induced cocaine craving incubates over time. Here, we explored the role of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC, a brain area previously implicated in cue-induced cocaine seeking) in this
