Description: Baclofen (also known as STX 209) is a derivative of gamma-aminobutyric acid and a selective GABAB receptor agonist.primarily used to treat spasticity. Baclofen is a synthetic chlorophenyl-butanoic acid derivative used to treat spasms due to spinal cord damage and multiple sclerosis, muscle-relaxing It acts at spinal and supraspinal sites, reducing excitatory transmission. GABAB receptors are metabotropic receptors which produce slow inhibitory signals.

ProtocolIn VitroBaclofen (1, 10 μM; 24 h) causes markedly decreased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, indicating increased cell viability in wild-type or mutant huntingtin-expressing striatal cells (HD19 or HD43). Baclofen significantly increases chymotrypsin-like proteasome activity and cell viability were in the HD43 cells
In VivoBaclofen (i.p.; 10 μg/g; twice daily for 3 consecutive days) ameliorates motor deficits in YAC128 HD transgenic mice
Animal modelWild type (WT) and mutant (MT) male YAC128 mice at 13-18 months of age
Dosages10 μg/g
AdministrationIP; twice daily at 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., for 3 consecutive days; then single dose on the fourth day at 9:00 a.m
These protocols are for reference only. InvivoChem does not independently validate these methods.

Calculation Results:
Working concentration: mg/ml;
Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in µL DMSO(Master liquid concentration mg/mL) ,Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take µL DMSO master liquid, next add µL PEG300, mix and clarify, next add µL Tween 80,mix and clarify, next add µL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
Note:
  • (1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
  • (2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
