4-Fluorophenibut

4-Fluorophenibut (developmental code name CGP-11130; also known as β-(4-fluorophenyl)-γ-aminobutyric acid or β-(4-fluorophenyl)-GABA) is a GABA<sub>B</sub> receptor agonist which was never marketed. It is selective for the GABA<sub>B</sub> receptor over the GABA<sub>A</sub> receptor (IC<sub>50</sub> = 1.70&nbsp;μM and > 100&nbsp;μM, respectively). The drug is a GABA analogue and is closely related to baclofen (β-(4-chlorophenyl)-GABA), tolibut (β-(4-methylphenyl)-GABA), and phenibut (β-phenyl-GABA). It is less potent as a GABA<sub>B</sub> receptor agonist than baclofen but more potent than phenibut.

The substance is sometimes referred to as 4F-phenibut, F-phenibut, or baflofen, and colloquially as fluorobut.

Legal status

F-Phenibut is a prohibited substance in Lithuania and Hungary.
