(R)-Baclofen is primarily used as a muscle relaxant and antispastic agent. It is effective in treating conditions such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, and cerebral palsy, where muscle spasticity is a significant issue. The compound works by activating GABA-B receptors in the brain, which helps to reduce the activity of nerve cells that cause muscle spasms. Additionally, (R)-Baclofen has been explored for its potential in managing alcohol withdrawal symptoms and reducing cravings in individuals with alcohol use disorder.
