 Gamma-butyrolactone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
gamma-Butyrolactone, also known as GBL, butyrolactone, 1,4-lactone, 4-butyrolactone, 4-hydroxybutyric acid lactone, and gamma-hydroxybutyric acid lactone, is a hygroscopic colorless oily liquid with a weak characteristic odor of medium solubility in water (≥ 10 g / 100 ml).

 CORK Bibliography: GHB
After reports of toxic effects of gamma -hydroxybutyrate and its resultant regulation by the federal government, 1,4-butanediol and gamma- butyrolactone, another precursor of gamma- hydroxybutyrate and an industrial solvent, began to be marketed as dietary supplements.
As predicted from the metabolism of gamma butyrolactone and 1,4-butanediol to GHB, the symptoms were nearly identical to those reported from GHB withdrawal.
Gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB) was identified in the blood of 13 subjects arrested for impaired driving.

 Gamma X 98%GBL
Gamma- butyrolactone, also known as GBL is one of the main components of GHB.
Gamma X is extremely strong, as 1 to 2 ml should be enough for an adult person from 70 to 80 kg.
In case of an overdose, symptoms may be similar as with GHB, such as loss of consciousness, slower respiration which can lead to an hart attack.

 CERI: Feature Article: The Emergence of GHB Alternatives
It is also possible that the longer action of butyrolactone may become a liability with higher doses that are not fully cleared within the 6-8 hour sleep period.
Butyrolactone alone is distributed in tanker truck loads to many industries.
GHB is rapidly metabolized (within an hour of consumption), whereas butyrolactone is metabolized only after hydrolysis, which extends the sleep-inducing properties of butyrolactone.

 GAMMA-BUTYROLACTONE (4-HYDROXYBUTYRIC ACID GAMMA-LACTONE)
Gamma-Butyrolactone is an intermediate for the manufacture of butyric acid compounds and pyrrolidones used as a plasticizer, solvent for polymers, nylon precursor and in insecticides.
O between a carboxyl and a hydroxyl group in the same molecule; gamma-hydroxybutyric acid forms gamma-butyrolactone and delta-hydroxydecanoic acid forms delta-decalactone spontaneously.

 CNN - FDA takes action against bodybuilding supplement - January 21, 1999
While gamma butyrolactone itself isn't illegal, once consumed it metabolizes in the body to create gamma hydroxybutyric acid, or GHB, which is illegal to produce or sell.
The supplements contain the ingredient gamma butyrolactone and are marketed under various brand names, including Blue Nitro, Renewtrient, Revivariant, GH Revitalizer, Gamma and Remforce.
Marketed as muscle-building supplements and sold over the Internet and in health food stores and fitness centers, gamma butyrolactone products have also been touted as everything from a fat burner to a sleep aid to an aphrodisiac.

 Gamma-Butyrolactone (GBL)
GBL is also known chemically as dihydro-2 (3H)-furanone; butyrolactone; 1,2-butanolide; 1,4-butanolide; gamma-hydroxybutyric acid lactone; 3-hydroxybutyric acid lactone and 4-hydroxybutanoic acid lactone.
The reason GBL was introduced into the dietary supplement marketplace is because it is easily converted into gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) after ingestion and is used as a prodrug of GHB.
GHB has been classified as a schedule I substance and is illegal to use except in certain FDA-allowed clinical trials.

 RRR_2(3):2000
Gamma hydroxybutyric acid (GHB, Figure 1) is a naturally occurring, normal constituent of the human body found primarily in the basal ganglia.
Pharmacologically, GHB acts as a neurotransmitter antagonist and is metabolized to succinic semialdehyde and gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA).
Therapeutically, it has been used as a general anesthetic and was purported to be a growth hormone stimulator by the health food industry.

 CERI Q&A: Georgia, Land of Felons?
So while you may be technically in compliance with Georgia law regarding your use of butyrolactone, the people who make, interpret and enforce the law have not demonstrated sufficient smarts to understand neither the full implications nor the subtlety of that which they are attempting to control.
Given such idiocy, it is hard to answer your question as to whether or not the Georgia authorities would consider butyrolactone to be a controlled substance.
In a professional, technical, scientific context, butyrolactone is not an optical, positional or geometric isomer of GHB.

GHB (gamma hydroxybutyrate) is a naturally occurring component of human cells that is usually used as an intoxicating chemical obtained by the mixture of " lactone " (short for gamma butyrlactone -GBL) and lye (sodium hydroxide) in the proper amounts.
Xyrem is a drug whose active ingredient is sodium oxybate, (gamma hydroxybutyrate or GHB), used to reduce the number of cataplexy attacks in patients with narcolepsy (cataplexy is a condition characterized by weak or paralyzed muscles).
There are two other chemicals which are used as GHB equivalents: 1,4 -butanediol and gamma butyrlactone.

 CERI Q&A: GBL Toxicity?
The use of butyrolactone may be a second-choice solution, but it may be better than doing without GHB or butyrolactone.
Certainly, the FDA and police will have a harder time eliminating butyrolactone because of wide-spread industrial uses that must be sacrificed to accomplish a zero-tolerance policy.
In a long-term dosing experiment in rodents, very high doses of butyrolactone showed a surprising lack of toxicity [NTIS, 1992].

 Club Drugs Containing GHB Your Health Connection
GBL (gamma butyrolactone) is the key ingredient in a number of products that promise better sleep, more enjoyable sex, or bigger muscles.
If you're unsure whether a product contains GBL, GBH, or BD, look for these chemical names on the label: 1,4 butanediol, tetramethylene glycol, gamma butyrolactone, or 2(3H)-Furanone di-hydro.
Unlike some supplements, GBL actually does something once it reaches the body: It changes to GHB (gamma hydroxybutyrate), a potent depressant of the central nervous system.
