Phenibut HCl – Powder, 99 grams

Phenibut HCl – Powder, 99 grams

This premium, laboratory-grade research compound delivers ultra-pure raw Phenibut hydrochloride (HCl) powder at ≥99% purity, representing the highest standard for modern scientific investigations into GABA-B receptor agonism and neurochemical modulation mechanisms in anxiety and cognitive enhancement. The lyophilized crystalline powder form provides investigators with a single-compound reference standard ideal for analytical testing, in vitro cell culture modeling of GABAergic pathways, and in vivo preclinical research applications where precise Phenibut HCl administration is critical for studying anxiety reduction, neuroprotection, cognitive enhancement, and sleep quality improvement.

Phenibut HCl is the hydrochloride salt form of Phenibut (4-Amino-3-phenylbutyric acid), which offers enhanced stability and solubility compared to the free acid form. The HCl salt provides improved water solubility (10 mg/ml in water after ultrasonic and warming to 60°C) for in vivo research applications, making it particularly valuable for animal studies requiring precise dosing.

Technical Specifications & Chemical Profile

Research Applications & Storage Protocols

GABA-B Receptor Agonism & Anxiety/Cognitive Enhancement Profiling

Phenibut HCl (γ-Amino-β-phenylbutyric Acid, β-phenyl-γ-Aminobutyric Acid, β-phenyl-GABA, Fenibut) functions as a GABA-B (beta-gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptor agonist, confirming its primary mechanism of action as a GABAergic pathway activator. The compound is a phenylated derivative of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) that crosses the blood-brain barrier more effectively than plain GABA due to the addition of a phenyl group, which enhances lipophilicity and neuronal uptake, distinguishing it from native GABA and contributing to enhanced CNS bioavailability. Phenibut HCl interacts with GABAergic neurotransmission pathways by binding to GABA-B receptors and modulating neuronal excitability, demonstrating comprehensive GABAergic system modulation. This unique mechanism positions Phenibut HCl as a critical tool compound for investigating anxiety reduction and stress relief research, enhanced relaxation without sedation studies, improved cognitive function and mental clarity pathways, support for mood enhancement models, neuroprotective effects, sleep quality improvement, and GABAergic neurotransmission in preclinical models, offering potential therapeutic insights for anxiety and cognitive enhancement with enhanced blood-brain barrier penetration properties. Phenibut has been clinically used in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and other countries since the 1960s for treating anxiety disorders, insomnia, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, vestibular disorders, asthenia, and stuttering, demonstrating historical therapeutic relevance for anxiety, sleep, and stress disorders. Phenibut was first developed in the Soviet Union by Soviet scientists for space physicians to help cosmonauts cope with stress, confirming specific therapeutic application for stress management and CNS protection. The hydrochloride salt form provides enhanced stability and solubility compared to free acid form, with improved water solubility (10 mg/ml in water after ultrasonic and warming to 60°C) for in vivo research applications, making it particularly valuable for animal studies requiring precise dosing.

Handling & Storage Guidelines

• Long-Term Storage: Store powder at -20°C for up to 3 years for optimal stability; in solvent at -80°C for 6 months or -20°C for 1 month; store in a cool and dry place; minimize open air exposure. Protect from light and moisture; PET single-wall jar provides UV resistance to minimize degradation; keep tightly sealed

• Solubility: Hydrochloride salt: 25 mg/ml in DMF, 20 mg/ml in DMSO, 10 mg/ml in water (after ultrasonic and warming to 60°C); pH (1% solution): 2.3–2.7; dissolve by heating/sonication if necessary; aqueous solutions require warming for optimal solubility

• Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder; clear solutions in DMF, DMSO, and water (with warming) when properly dissolved; melting point 194.0–202.0 °C
