4-Fluorophenibut (developmental code name CGP-11130; also known as β-(4-fluorophenyl)-γ-aminobutyric acid or β-(4-fluorophenyl)-GABA) is a GABA_B receptor agonist which was never marketed.^[1] It is selective for the GABA_B receptor over the GABA_A receptor (IC₅₀ = 1.70 μM and > 100 μM, respectively).^[1] 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).^[1] It is less potent as a GABA_B receptor agonist than baclofen but more potent than phenibut.^[1]

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

Legal status

F-Phenibut is a prohibited substance in Lithuania^[2] and Hungary.^[3]
