Journal of chromatography. A, 890(2), 273-280 (2000-09-29)
A rapid and simple reversed-phase liquid chromatographic method that did not require the derivatization of 4-amino-3-hydroxybutyric acid (GABOB) was developed and validated. The method proved to be suitable for the determination of GABOB concentrations in finished pharmaceutical product (tablets). The

Kynurenine and kynurenic acid are known to produce convulsions in rats and mice and it has been reported that kynurenine can displace GABA from its neuronal binding sites. The present study shows that neither kynurenine nor kynurenic acid are antagonist

To investigate the formation of gamma-amino-beta-hydroxybutyric acid from 2-hydroxyputrescine in mammalian organs, the radioactive diamine was synthesized and was injected into rats intraperitoneally or intraventricularly. After intraperitoneal injection, the radioactive amino acid was detected in various organs, but formation of
