3-AMINO-2-HYDROXY-4-PHENYLBUTYRIC ACID

Description:
3-Amino-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyric acid, commonly referred to as phenibut, is a derivative of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). It features an amino group, a hydroxyl group, and a phenyl group attached to a butyric acid backbone, which contributes to its unique properties. This compound is known for its potential anxiolytic and nootropic effects, often used to promote relaxation and cognitive enhancement. It is soluble in water and exhibits a moderate melting point, indicating its stability under standard conditions. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its solubility and reactivity, while the phenyl group contributes to its lipophilicity, allowing it to cross the blood-brain barrier effectively. Phenibut is often utilized in various therapeutic contexts, although its use should be approached with caution due to potential side effects and the risk of dependence. As with any chemical substance, proper handling and adherence to safety guidelines are essential when working with or studying this compound.
