4-Fluorophenibut is a GABAB receptor agonist that was never marketed. It is selective for the GABAB receptor over the GABAA receptor (IC50 = 1.70 μM and > 100 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 GABAB 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.
