gamma. -Hydroxybutyric acid. gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) (or γ-hydroxybutyric acid), also known as 4-hydroxybutanoic acid is a naturally occurring neurotransmitter and a depressant drug. It is a precursor to GABA, glutamate, and glycine in certain brain areas. It acts on the GHB receptor and is a weak agonist at the GABA B receptor.
Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is a central nervous system depressant. It has no odor and tastes salty, [30] but the taste can be masked when mixed in a drink. [31] GHB is used recreationally to stimulate euphoria, to increase sociability, to promote libido and lower inhibitions. [32] It is sold under names such as Rufies, Liquid E and Liquid X.
Gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) or γ-butyrolactone is an organic compound with the formula O=CO (CH2)3. It is hygroscopic, colorless, water-miscible liquid with a weak, characteristic odor. It is the simplest 4-carbon lactone. It is mainly used as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals, such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone.
Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate (GHB) Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) drugs are central nervous system (CNS) depressants. ... (clomipramine) can be effective, their side effects often make them less ideal for ...
This was once the preferred method of production by motorcycle gangs in California, [103] until DEA restrictions on the chemicals made the process difficult. Pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, phenylacetone, and phenylacetic acid are currently DEA list I and acetic anhydride is list II on the DEA list of chemicals subject to regulation and control ...
Formula. C5H10O3. Molar mass. 118.132 g·mol −1. γ-Hydroxyvaleric acid (GHV), also known as 4-methyl-GHB, is a designer drug related to γ-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB). It is sometimes seen on the grey market as a legal alternative to GHB, but with lower potency and higher toxicity, [2] properties which have tended to limit its recreational use.
GHB receptor. The γ-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) receptor (GHBR), originally identified as GPR172A, is an excitatory G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that binds the neurotransmitter and psychoactive drug γ-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB). As solute carrier family 52 member 2 (SLC52A2), it is also a transporter for riboflavin.
Infobox references. γ-Valerolactone (GVL) or gamma-valerolactone is an organic compound with the formula C 5 H 8 O 2. This colourless liquid is one of the more common lactones. GVL is chiral but is usually used as the racemate. It is readily obtained from cellulosic biomass and is a potential fuel and green solvent.
