Translation in progress
The German version has more complete content. This English page is being expanded; safety-critical risk and interaction sections may still appear while translation continues.
Receptor Targets
Mechanism of Action
1,4-Butanediol acts through the following pharmacological mechanisms:
Designations
IUPAC: butane-1,4-diol
Receptor Profile
Der GABA-A-Rezeptor ist ein ligandengesteuerter Chloridkanal und der wichtigste inhibitorische Rezeptor im zentralen Nervensystem. Er besitzt multiple allosterische Bindungsstellen für verschiedene Substanzklassen.
Der GABA-B-Rezeptor ist ein Gi/Go-gekoppelter metabotroper GABA-Rezeptor, der als Heterodimer (GABA-B1/B2) funktioniert. Er moduliert die Neurotransmitterfreisetzung und vermittelt langsame inhibitorische postsynaptische Potenziale.
Substance Fingerprint
Pharmacological profile based on receptor binding, mechanism of action, and substance class. Limited data — interpret profile with caution.

Effects & Pharmacology translation in progress
English prose is being expanded. The German version currently has more detail.
Dosage & Duration translation in progress
English prose is being expanded. The German version currently has more detail.
Dose sensitivity varies greatly between individuals. Body weight, tolerance, route of administration, combinations, and pre-existing conditions significantly affect outcomes. These figures are not dosing recommendations — they describe reported ranges, not safe amounts.
Risks & Harm Reduction translation in progress
English prose is being expanded. Safety-critical structured data may still be shown when available.
The risks listed may be incomplete. Especially for research chemicals and rare substances, available data is limited.
Based on substance class, receptors, mechanisms, and effect profile.
