PsychonautWiki summary
1,3-Butanediol, not to be confused with 1,4-butanediol (a GHB prodrug), is a depressant substance and a prodrug for the ketone body beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). It occurs as a thick, colorless liquid or solid depending on storage temperature, and has a distinct bitter-sweet taste. It is used as a recreational intoxicant with effects comparable to alcohol, though much shorter in duration. The R enantiomer of 1,3-Butanediol is more active. The toxicity of 1,3-Butanediol in animals models is lower than that of alcohol, potentially owing to the formation of a less toxic aldehyde following dehydrogenation by alcohol dehydrogenase.[1]
