Product Description:
1.G-Butyrolactone (γ-butyrolactone or G-Butyrolactone) is a hygroscopic colorless liquid with a weak characteristic odor which is soluble in water. G-Butyrolactone is a common solvent and reagent in chemistry as well as being used as a flavouring, as a cleaning solvent, as a superglue remover, and as a solvent in some wet aluminium electrolytic capacitors. In humans it acts as a prodrug, and it is used as a recreational intoxicant with effects similar to alcohol.
2. G-Butyrolactone has been found in extracts from samples of unadulterated wines.[3] This finding indicates that G-Butyrolactone is a naturally occurring component in some wines and may be present in similar products. The concentration detected was approximately 5 μg/mL and was easily observed using a simple extraction technique followed by GC/MS analysis. G-Butyrolactone can be found in cheese flavourings but typically results in a content of 0.0002% G-Butyrolactone in the final foodstuff.
3. G-Butyrolactone is a lactone. It is hydrolyzed under basic conditions, for example in a sodium hydroxide solution into sodium G-hydroxybutyrate, the sodium salt of G-hydroxybutyric acid. Under acidic conditions it forms an equilibrium mixture of both compounds. These compounds then may go on to form a polymer. When treated with a non-nucleophilic base, like lithium diisopropylamide, G-Butyrolactone can become an alpha-carbon nucleophile. The related compound caprolactone can be used to make a polyester in this manner.
4. G-Butyrolactone is not active in its own right; its mechanism of action stems from its identity as a prodrug. The hypnotic effect of is enhanced by combination with alcohol. A 2003 rat study showed that G-Butyrolactone in combination with ethanol showed a potentiated hypnotic effect, as the sleep-timing measure was longer than both of the individual components combined
5. G-Butyrolactone is rapidly converted into by paraoxonase (lactonase) enzymes, found in the blood.[7][8] Animals which lack these enzymes exhibit no effect from G-Butyrolactone.[7] G-Butyrolactone is more lipophilic (fat soluble) than, and so is absorbed faster and has higher bioavailability. Because of these pharmacokinetic differences, G-Butyrolactone tends to be more potent and faster-acting than, but has a shorter duration; whereas the related compound 1,4-butanediol (1,4-B) tends to be slightly less potent, slower to take effect but longer-acting than.
