Baclofen is a GABA derivative that acts as an agonist at GABA-B receptors; it is commonly used in animal models to examine the effects of GABAergic neurotransmission in a variety of fields, including substance dependence, spasticity, pain, and feeding behavior. Baclofen exhibits analgesic, antinociceptive, and antiepileptic/anticonvulsant activities.

This compound is also delivered intrathecally to treat spasticity and dystonia.
