Description
Application
γ-Butyrolactone may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in roasted Italian chestnuts, wine samples, beverages using chromatography techniques.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Precursor of γ
Caution
-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB). It blocks dopamine release by blocking impulse flow in dopaminergic neurons. Pretreatment with γ
Cell Line Description
-butyrolactone allows detection of autoreceptor-induced dopamine release.
Legal Information
γ-Butyrolactone (GBL) is a related lactone analog of γ-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), a widespread drug of abuse, identified as an endogenous constituent of the mammalian brain, in which it exhibits a strong central nervous system depressant effect. GBL is considered as a legal substitute of GHB, and commonly identified in beverages including coffee, apple cider vinegar, tea, carbonated drinks, etc.
