Metabolite Identification
Common NameGamma Hydroxybutyric Acid
DescriptionGamma-Hydroxybutyric acid, also known as gamma-hydroxybutyrate or 4-hydroxybutyrate sodium, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxy fatty acids. These are fatty acids in which the chain bears a hydroxyl group. Gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid is a drug which is used as a general anesthetic, to treat conditions such as insomnia, clinical depression, narcolepsy, and alcoholism, and to improve athletic performance. . Gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid is a potentially toxic compound.
