Chemical compound, GABA(B) receptor antagonist
Chemical compound
2-Hydroxysaclofen is a GABAB receptor antagonist and an analogue of saclofen .
Pharmacodynamics 2-Hydroxysaclofen binds to the GABAB receptor, but this is selective for the (S )-enantiomer , while the (R )-enantiomer does not bind to the GABAB protein .[1]
2-Hydroxysaclofen has been reported to be more potent than saclofen .[2]
