History n n n 1980 s: over-the-counter in health stores. Abused as recreational drugs. 1991: ? Political reason. Banned for its excellent GA property.
GHB - naturally found n n n Hypothalamus Basal ganglia Kidney Heart Skeletal Brown fat tissue.
Physiology n n n 16 times increase in GH. Inhibit the protein breakdown. Facilitate fat loss. Induce hypotonia. Enhance sexual arousal.
Physiology n n n Colorless, odorless, tasteless. Excellent sedation, amnesia. “Date-rape” drug: rapid incapacitation. No toxic metabolites, only CO 2, H 2 O. Normalized after 2 - 5 hours.
GHB n Developed as an anesthetic due to similarity to GABA Initially marketed to bodybuilders, later became popular as a club drug.
GHB n Mechanism of Action n Structural similarity to GABA, but crosses the BBB Acts on GABA-B receptors Clinical manifestation n CNS depression/euphoria (20 -30 mg/kg) Coma and respiratory depression seen (50 -70 mg/kg) Headache, ataxia, confusion, myoclonus

GHB – Recovery Time
Elimination of GHB n n n GHB exhibits zero-order kinetics - it has no half-life. Time required to eliminate half a given dose increases as the dose increases. Everyone excretes GHB - it is a normal urinary metabolite. Concentrations < 10 ug/m. L may be considered normal.
Back to basic n n n House brewed in US. Different potencies, purities. Different side effects. Toxic effect unpredictable. 30 mg/kg to 60 mg/kg.
Therapeutic Value n n Sleeping disorder Narcolepsy Alcohol withdrawal Depression
