Effects of phaclofen and the enantiomers of baclofen on cardiovascular responses to intrathecal administration of L- and D-baclofen in the rat.

Eur. J. Pharmacol. 196 , 267, (1991)

In a previous study it was found that i.t. administration of L-baclofen decreased arterial pressure and heart rate while D-baclofen differentially increased arterial pressure. The objective of the present study was to determine which of these effects was bloc...

Comparative stereostructure-activity studies on GABAA and GABAB receptor sites and GABA uptake using rat brain membrane preparations.

J. Neurochem. 47 , 898, (1986)

The affinities of a number of analogues of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) for GABAA and GABAB receptor sites and GABA uptake were studied using rat brain membrane preparations. Studies on the (S)-(+)- and (R)-(-)-isomers of baclofen, 3-hydroxy-4-aminobutyric ...

3-(p-Chlorophenyl)-4-aminobutanoic acid--resolution into enantiomers and pharmacological activity.

Pol. J. Pharmacol. Pharm. 32 , 187, (1980)

Racemic 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-4-aminobutanoic acid was resolved into enantiomers and their absolute configuration determined. Pharmacological activity of hydrochlorides of the racemic acid and its enantiomers has been determined. The R(+) enantiomer was found to...

The GABA(B) receptor positive modulator BHF177 attenuated anxiety, but not conditioned fear, in rats.

Neuropharmacology 97 , 357-64, (2015)

GABAB (γ-aminobutyric acid B) receptors may be a therapeutic target for anxiety disorders. Here we characterized the effects of the GABAB receptor positive allosteric modulator (PAM) BHF177 on conditioned and unconditioned physiological responses to threat in...

Direct inhibition of hypothalamic proopiomelanocortin neurons by dynorphin A is mediated by the μ-opioid receptor.

J. Physiol. 592(Pt 19) , 4247-56, (2014)

It has recently been shown that dynorphin A (Dyn A), an endogenous agonist of the κ-opioid receptor (KOR), directly inhibits proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons in the hypothalamus through activation of G-protein-coupled inwardly rectifying K(+) channels (GIRK...
