Gamma hydroxybutyric acid Key Chain 3D Printed
γ-Hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), also known as 4-hydroxybutanoic acid, is a naturally occurring neurotransmitter and a psychoactive drug. It is a precursor to GABA, glutamate, and glycine in certain brain areas, and it acts on the GHB receptor and it is a weak agonist at the GABAB receptor.
GHB has been used in a medical setting as a general anesthetic and as a treatment for cataplexy, narcolepsy, and alcoholism.[2][3] It is also used illegally as an intoxicant, to try to increase athletic performance, and as a date rape drug[4] and as a recreational drug. It is commonly used in the form of a salt, such as sodium γ-hydroxybutyrate (Na.GHB, sodium oxybate, or Xyrem) or potassium γ-hydroxybutyrate (K.GHB, potassium oxybate).
GHB is also produced as a result of fermentation, and is found in small quantities in some beers and wines, beef and small citrus fruits.[5]
Succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency is a disease that causes GHB to accumulate in the blood.
