R Paredes et al.
Psychopharmacology, 97(3), 358-364 (1989-01-01)
The behavior effects of racemic baclofen and the R and S enantiomers were studied in order to determine whether the stereospecificity found in receptor binding studies also applies to the behavioral actions of the drug. Racemic and R-baclofen inhibited sexual

European journal of pharmacology, 196(3), 267-275 (1991-04-24)
In a previous study it was found that i.t. administration of L-baclofen decreased arterial pressure and heart rate while D-baclofen differentially increased arterial pressure. The objective of the present study was to determine which of these effects was blocked by
B Witczuk et al.
Polish journal of pharmacology and pharmacy, 32(2), 187-196 (1980-03-01)
Racemic 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-4-aminobutanoic acid was resolved into enantiomers and their absolute configuration determined. Pharmacological activity of hydrochlorides of the racemic acid and its enantiomers has been determined. The R(+) enantiomer was found to be 4.2-9.2-fold as effective as the S(-) one

Journal of neurochemistry, 47(3), 898-903 (1986-09-01)
The affinities of a number of analogues of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) for GABAA and GABAB receptor sites and GABA uptake were studied using rat brain membrane preparations. Studies on the (S)-(+)- and (R)-(-)-isomers of baclofen, 3-hydroxy-4-aminobutyric acid (3-OH-GABA), and 4,5-dihydromuscimol
