Phenprobamate (Cat No.: I034632) is a centrally acting muscle relaxant with sedative and anxiolytic properties. It functions by modulating GABAergic activity in the central nervous system, leading to muscle relaxation and mild anticonvulsant effects. Previously used for conditions like muscle spasms and anxiety, its clinical use has declined due to the availability of safer alternatives. Phenprobamate shares structural similarities with meprobamate, a well-known anxiolytic. While still studied for its pharmacological properties, its use is now limited due to safety concerns and potential dependence.
