Saclofen
Saclofen is a pharmacological agent that is used in scientific research. It acts as an antagonist at the GABAB receptor.[1]
Pharmacology
Saclofen is a competitive antagonist for the GABAB receptor. This means it binds to the same site on the receptor as the endogenous ligand, GABA. However, unlike GABA, saclofen does not activate the receptor. Instead, it prevents GABA from binding, thereby inhibiting its effects.[2]
Uses
Saclofen is primarily used in scientific research. It is often used to study the function of the GABAB receptor and the role of this receptor in various physiological and pathological processes.[3]
