Abstract

gamma-Amino-beta-[3H]hydroxybutyric acid ([3H]-GABOB) was formed in rat brain from 2-[3H]-hydroxyputrescine that had been chemically synthesized from 2-oxoputrescine and [3H]sodium borohydride. After the injection of 2-[3H]hydroxyputrescine into the lateral ventricle of a rat brain, the rat was killed and then the brain was removed. [3H]GABOB in the brain was identified by a combination of ion-exchange chromatography, high-voltage paper electrophoresis, and recrystallization of the radioactive compound with authentic GABOB.
