Identification
Common NameBaclofen
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionBaclofen is a gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA) derivative used as a skeletal muscle relaxant. Baclofen stimulates GABA-B receptors leading to decreased frequency and amplitude of muscle spasms. It is especially useful in treating muscle spasticity associated with spinal cord injury. It appears to act primarily at the spinal cord level by inhibiting spinal polysynaptic afferent pathways and, to a lesser extent, monosynaptic afferent pathways.

Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureInhalation (9); ingestion (9); eye contact (9); dermal (9) Rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the GI tract.
Mechanism of ToxicityBaclofen is a direct agonist at GABAB receptors. The precise mechanism of action of Baclofen is not fully known. It is capable of inhibiting both monosynaptic and polysynaptic reflexes at the spinal level, possibly by hyperpolarization of afferent terminals, although actions at supraspinal sites may also occur and contribute to its clinical effect.
Metabolism~ 15% of the dose is metabolized in the liver, primarily by deamination. 70-80% of the dose is excreted unchanged or as metabolites in urine and the remainder is excreted in feces. Oral Baclofen is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. After oral administration, baclofen appears in the blodd within half an our. It is fairly distributed in most organs and body tissues. After oral administration of baclofen, about 85% is excreted unchanged in the urine and feces and the remainder is oxidatively dearninated in the liver to produce beta-(p-chlorophenyl)-gamma-hydroxybutyric acid as a major metabolite. (11). Route of Elimination: In a study using radiolabeled baclofen, approximately 85% of the dose was excreted unchanged in the urine and feces. Baclofen is excreted primarily by the kidney as unchanged drug; 70 - 80% of a dose appears in the urine as unchanged drug. The remainder is excreted as unchanged drug in the feces or as metabolites in the urine and feces. Half Life: 2.5-4 hours
Toxicity ValuesLD50: 45 mg/kg (Intravenous, Mouse) (1) LD50: 78 mg/kg (Intravenous, Rat) (1)
Lethal DoseNot Available
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC).
Uses/SourcesFor the alleviation of signs and symptoms of spasticity resulting from multiple sclerosis, particularly for the relief of flexor spasms and concomitant pain, clonus, and muscular rigidity.
Minimum Risk LevelNot Available
Health EffectsHealth effects include hypertonia, hyperthermia, formal thought disorder, psychosis, mania, mood disturbances, restlessness, and behavioral disturbances, tachycardia, seizures, tremors, autonomic dysfunction, hyperpyrexia, extreme muscle rigidity resembling neuroleptic malignant syndrome and rebound spasticity (6).
SymptomsLD50=45 mg/kg (male mice, IV); LD50=78 mg/kg (male rat, IV)
TreatmentTreatment may involve "pumping" the stomach, inducing vomiting, administering an antidote, and providing supportive care. (7)

General Function:
G-protein coupled gaba receptor activity
Specific Function:
Component of a heterodimeric G-protein coupled receptor for GABA, formed by GABBR1 and GABBR2. Within the heterodimeric GABA receptor, only GABBR1 seems to bind agonists, while GABBR2 mediates coupling to G proteins. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase. Signaling inhibits adenylate cyclase, stimulates phospholipase A2, activates potassium channels, inactivates voltage-dependent calcium-channels and modulates inositol phospholipid hydrolysis. Calcium is required for high affinity binding to GABA. Plays a critical role in the fine-tuning of inhibitory synaptic transmission. Pre-synaptic GABA receptor inhibits neurotransmitter release by down-regulating high-voltage activated calcium channels, whereas postsynaptic GABA receptor decreases neuronal excitability by activating a prominent inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) conductance that underlies the late inhibitory postsynaptic potentials. Not only implicated in synaptic inhibition but also in hippocampal long-term potentiation, slow wave sleep, muscle relaxation and antinociception. Activated by (-)-baclofen, cgp27492 and blocked by phaclofen.Isoform 1E may regulate the formation of functional GABBR1/GABBR2 heterodimers by competing for GABBR2 binding. This could explain the observation that certain small molecule ligands exhibit differential affinity for central versus peripheral sites.
