Summary Afloqualone, also known as Arofuto, belongs to the quinazolinone family of GABAergic drugs. It is an analog of methaqualone that was developed in the 1970s by researchers at Tanabe Seiyaku. This compound exerts sedative and muscle-relaxant effects through its agonistic activity at the β subtype of the GABA receptor. Afloqualone has found some clinical … Read more
Summary γ-Valerolactone, often abbreviated as GVL, represents an organic compound characterized by the chemical formula C5H8O2. This clear, colourless liquid ranks among the more prevalent lactones. Although GVL possesses chirality, it is commonly employed in its racemic form. It can be readily derived from cellulosic biomass and holds promise as both a potential fuel source … Read more
Summary Gamma-hydroxyvaleric acid (GHV), also referred to as 4-methyl-GHB, is a synthetic substance classified as a designer drug closely related to gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB). Occasionally, it appears on the grey market as a legal substitute for GHB. However, it is characterized by lower potency and increased toxicity compared to GHB, factors that have, in practice, … Read more
Summary Gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), also known as γ-butyrolactone, is a colourless liquid that readily absorbs moisture from the air and has a faint, distinct odour. This compound represents the simplest form of a four-carbon lactone. Its primary application lies in serving as an intermediate compound for the synthesis of various other chemicals, including methyl-2-pyrrolidone.In the context … Read more
