Glufimet (developmental code name RGPU-238), also known as dimethyl 3-phenylglutamate hydrochloride, is a derivative of glutamic acid (glutamate) which was developed in Russia and is related to the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) derivative phenibut (3-phenyl-GABA).[1][2][3][4] It contains phenibut and glycine fragments in its chemical structure, has been described, as a "GABA precursor", and is said to modulate the GABA and nitric oxide (NO) systems and to have antioxidant activity.[1][2][3][4] It has been suggested that metabotropic glutamate receptors may also play a role in the mechanism of action of glufimet.[4] Stress-protective effects have been described for glufimet in animals.[1][2][3]
