| About the compound: | Gamma-butyrolactone is a butan-4-olide that is tetrahydrofuran substituted by an oxo group at position 2. It has a role as a neurotoxin and a metabolite. One of the furans with a carbonyl thereby forming a cyclic lactone. It is an endogenous compound made from gamma-aminobutyrate and is the precursor of gamma-hydroxybutyrate. It is also used as a pharmacological agent and solvent GHS Hazard Statements • H302 (100%): Harmful if swallowed [Warning Acute toxicity, oral] • H315 (12.18%): Causes skin irritation [Warning Skin corrosion/irritation] • H318 (69.26%): Causes serious eye damage [Danger Serious eye damage/eye irritation] • H319 (30.93%): Causes serious eye irritation [Warning Serious eye damage/eye irritation] • H331 (11.94%): Toxic if inhaled [Danger Acute toxicity, inhalation] • H336 (69.2%): May cause drowsiness or dizziness [Warning Specific target organ toxicity, single exposure; Narcotic effects] First Aid Eyes: 1. Check for and remove contact lenses. 2. Flush eyes with water or saline for 20-30 minutes while calling a hospital or poison control center. 3. Do not apply any ointments, oils, or medications unless instructed by a physician. 4. Transport the victim to a hospital immediately, even if no symptoms appear. Skin: 1.
