Description :
Gamma-Butyrolactone (GBL) has widespread industrial use. It is a common solvent and reagent in chemistry and is used as an aroma compound, as a stain remover, as a superglue remover, as a paint stripper, and as a solvent in some wet aluminium electrolytic capacitors.
Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is a naturally occurring fatty acid found throughout the human body. It has a structure similar to the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). It readily crosses the blood-brain barrier with rapid onset of anxiolytic, sedative and euphoric effects. Its neurodepressant effect may be mediated by a specific GHB receptor, binding to GABA receptors, modulation of GABA levels, or interactions with other neurotransmitters. Its effects are similar to benzodiazepines, baclofen and alcohol.
