Phenibut is a synthetic compound that is structurally similar to the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). It was originally developed in Russia in the 1960s and is used for its anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), sedative, and calming effects.
Phenibut works primarily by binding to GABA receptors in the brain. It acts as a GABA-B receptor agonist, which leads to its anxiolytic and sedative effects. By enhancing GABAergic neurotransmission, Phenibut reduces neuronal excitability and promotes relaxation.
