Potassium oxybate is the potassium salt form of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), a naturally occurring neurotransmitter and metabolite of GABA and glutamate. In research and pharmaceutical contexts, it is favored over its acidic form due to enhanced stability and aqueous solubility. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include 4-hydroxybutanoic acid potassium salt and Oxybate Potassium. It is listed as a controlled drug substance (Schedule III). Its PubChem CID is 23689651.
