Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" In mice, AZD3355 produced considerably less central side effects than the prototypical GABA(B) receptor agonist baclofen but evoked hypothermia at very high doses (blocked by a GABA(B) receptor antagonist and absent in GABA(B)-/- mice)."3.75(R)-(3-amino-2-fluoropropyl) phosphinic acid (AZD3355), a novel GABAB receptor agonist, inhibits transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation through a peripheral mode of action.

( Berendsen, MA; Hillman, L; Pandolfino, JE; Thuluvath, AJ; Yadlapati, R, 2017)
" Twice-daily dosing of PPI for inadequate gastric acid suppression and the administration of H2-receptor antagonist before bedtime for nocturnal acid reflux, is effective in most cases."2.44[Management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with refractory to standard dose of proton pump inhibitor]. ( Iwakiri, K; Kawami, N; Kotoyori, M; Sakamoto, C; Sano, H; Tanaka, Y, 2007)
"In trials to preserve the pharmacological profile and improve the bioavailability via lipophilicity increment of baclofen 1 and searching for more potent and less toxic muscle relaxants and analgesics, nine substituted cyclic analogues of 1 were designed and synthesized."1.355-(4-Chlorophenyl)-5,6-dihydro-1,3-oxazepin-7(4H)-one derivatives as lipophilic cyclic analogues of baclofen: design, synthesis, and neuropharmacological evaluation. ( Abdel-Hafez, AA; Abdel-Wahab, BA, 2008)
" It is concluded that repeated dosing of baclofen leads to mild tolerance development in terms of the effects on transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation, but that the tolerance is much less pronounced than that previously reported in other animal models."1.31Effects of repeated administration of baclofen on transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation in the dog. ( Hansson-Brändén, L; Kärrberg, L; Lehmann, A, 2000)
"Baclofen is a potent and efficacious inhibitor of TLESRs and reflux in the dog."1.30Activation of the GABA(B) receptor inhibits transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations in dogs. ( Antonsson, M; Bremner-Danielsen, M; Flärdh, M; Hansson-Brändén, L; Kärrberg, L; Lehmann, A, 1999)
"CGP 35348 was also studied in mice on (+/-)-baclofen-induced impairment of rota-rod performance."1.28CGP 35348, a new GABAB antagonist, prevents antinociception and muscle-relaxant effect induced by baclofen. ( Bartolini, A; Ghelardini, C; Giotti, A; Malcangio, M; Malmberg-Aiello, P, 1991)
"The baclofen response was antagonized by 5-aminovaleric acid (DAVA, 500 microM), TTX and hyoscine and resistant to GABAA-receptor and adrenoceptor blockade."1.28An in vitro study of the relationship between GABA receptor function and propulsive motility in the distal colon of the rabbit. ( Candura, SM; Crema, A; Frigo, GM; Manzo, L; Onori, L; Rizzi, CA; Tonini, M, 1989)

"3H-Baclofen was injected i."1.27[Enhancement of the muscle relaxant action of baclofen by glucocorticoids]. ( Wakayama, K, 1987)
