Does any1 here have any information on this compound??

It was being sold online as a herbal product called sextacy.
Here is all the information that they listed on there website about it:

Sexstacy

The key to the power of Sexstacy is the nutrient 4OH-2-Furanone. It causes relaxation, arousal, sexual energy, heightened sexual sensitivity, and intensifies orgasms. It works very effectively for both sexes, and it doesn't cause sleeplessness. Definitely the ultimate aphrodisiac - sheer Sexstacy.

[top]Sexstacy Product Design Report

Sexstacy's design is based upon treating the whole by giving the organism everything it requires to reach a better state of awareness by its own natural mechanisms as well as direct stimulation. The components work together to produce an effect that is greater than the sum of each individually.
Sexstacy should be consumed as a full three capsule dose approximately 15 - 30 minutes before sex, for the best effect.
Here I will state the reasons for the inclusions of each of the ingredients in the Sexstacy.

[top]4OH-2-Furanone

4OH-2-Furanone (4OH) is metabolized into the nutrient gamma-hydroxybutyrate, a natural nutrient found in every cell of the human body, and has been described as a "truly non-toxic hypnotic". It temporarily inhibits the release of dopamine in the brain and stimulates the release of Pituitary Growth Hormone. This causes the user to feel a pleasant state of relaxation and tranquility, placidity, sensuality, mild euphoria, and a tendency to verbalize. Anxieties and inhibitions tend to dissolve into a feeling of emotional warmth, well-being and pleasant drowsiness. The "morning after" effects lack the unpleasant or debilitating characteristics associated with alcohol and other relaxation oriented drugs. In fact most users report feeling particularly refreshed and energized the next day.
The effects can generally be felt within five to twenty minutes after ingestion, and last for 2-3 hours, although the effects can be prolonged through repeat dosing.
4OH has four main pro-sexual properties:
Lowered sexual inhibitions (particularly in women)
Greater sexual sensitivity and tactility
Enhancement of male erectile capacity
Increased intensity of orgasms
Because it causes drowsiness (especially in high doses) it is important that it is not taken when driving or operating machinery are required. It should also not be taken by suffers of epilepsy, heart conditions, and it should not be mixed with sedatives or large quantities of alcohol.
4OH is an aphrodisiac in the truest sense, improving both psychological and physical areas of sexual performance. It is extremely effective for both men and women, plus it promotes a relaxing and revitalizing sleep. It is quite simply the perfect aphrodisiac.
Besides its sexual properties, 4OH has been used to treat drug addictions, insomnia, chronic pain, and depression.

[top]Saw Palmetto [Serenoa repens]

A long standing mainstay of most if not all aphrodisiacs on the market and any product would be deficient if this were not present. It aids in the prostrate function and increases its potency. The berries are the part used and are very nutritious and act as a tonic for the glandular tissues. They build and strength healthy body tissue very rapidly and tend to normalize body weight. They are excellent for regaining health after any wasting illness and have an anticatarrhal influence on sore urinary passages. They are frequently used in cases of atrophy of the testes and mammary glands. They are most famous for their ability to increase the production of sperm in males when taken regularly. In this sense it can be regarded as a truly beneficial aphrodisiac.

[top]Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus)

This is known as the king of Herbs because of its multitude of medicinal uses including the control of both high and low blood pressure. It is a true adaptogen as it is used by the body to "adapt" itself for exercise, exertion, mental and emotional work and so on with the added bonus that ginseng also works as a relaxant. It regulates the whole of the body and is used here as an important component to maintain the correct balancing of the body and mind.
It is active for both sexes and the effects as an aphrodisiac increases with use over time. Oriental men have been consuming it for over 5000 years daily to increase their virility and, reputedly, many of them have been known to father children into their seventies. It has been quoted as bestowing the power of the bull on both old and young. It is however not just a temporary genital stimulant but a long term rejuvenator and reactivator of the endocrine and entire organism which strengthens the heart and nervous system and increases the flow of hormones.

[top]Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA)

GABA is a naturally occurring amino acid. It is found in the brain and the body. GABA usage will stimulate the release by the pituitary gland of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) (or Growth Hormone (GH)) which is naturally released by the body when it undergoes vigorous peak muscular exercise, during certain phases of sleep, or restricted food intake.
GH stimulates growth and repair of the body as well as the activities of the immune system. The immune system is run down by excess exercise without the proper nutrition. GH also helps the body burn fat and convert it into energy and muscle and aids in wound healing and tissue repair. GH is widely known for its powerful anabolic (muscle building) effects as well as its lipotropic (breakdown and utilization of body fat) effects. The overall result of these effects is an increase in lean tissue mass and a decrease in body fat. Finally, stimulating naturally the levels of GH leads to greater feelings of energy and vigor.
Additionally, GABA has been shown to have positive toning effects on the nervous system, to improve sleep cycles leading to more restful sleep and more interesting lucid dreaming, to have a powerful stabilizing effect on blood pressure and to be an effective analgesic (removing the perception of pain).

[top]L-Arginine:

As another essential amino acid it is important in our sex lives. It compromises 80% of the sperm cells. A deficiency may result in impotence, sterility, and decrease in the production and mobility of sperm. It is also important for the synthesis and release of the pituitary gland's growth hormone. It increases sperm counts and is essential for adults after the age of 30 as there is almost a complete cessation of its secretion from the pituitary gland.
It acts by increasing the amount of nitrous oxide in the body which signal the penis to expand and leads to longer lasting and quicker erections.
Here are some comments from people who have already tried Sexstacy:
Oh yeah the sex with Sexstacy is great... I'm 32 but I feel 22 again.
- NP

Heres how it affected me sexually: my tactile senses seemed heightened (everything felt great!), and I was able to last much longer. How did it effect my wife? The combination of Sexstacy and my stamina was very effective for her. After four yes four! Climaxes, she was tired but satisfied, and my own orgasm was very strong, very intense. We will definitely be using Sexstacy to augment our sex life from now on.
- RT

I raved about how great a time me and my girlfriend were having with your help. We had the absolute best sex ever thanks to the Sexstacy, unbelievable!
- TS

Sexstacy certainly enhances my sex life a lot. My girlfriend and I have been having routine sex about once a week. While taking Sexstacy, we have been having sex almost daily! And if that's not enough, she wanted more from me.

[top]Sexstacy Experience


[top]What is a Sexstacy experience like?

Sexstacy is our best selling aphrodisiac, and probably the best aphrodisiac available anywhere in the world. It is an aphrodisiac of the traditional sense, in that it makes you both very "up for it", as well as enhancing the enjoyment and performance of the sexual experience.
Typically you will experience:
extra energy,
a feeling of greater strength,
increased blood flow to the penis
greater ejaculatory control and delay
very intense orgasms
lower inhibitions
very relaxed
euphoria,
heightened sexual sensitivity sensitivity
lots of "rushes".
[top]How many do you need to take?

Sexstacy is packaged in three capsule doses, and you need to take all three to achieve the best effect.
Two capsules will provide a noticeable effect, but for the true Sexstacy experience three capsules are necessary.
Three capsules is the perfect dose, so we do not recommend that you take more than one dose. Too many can make you feel very drowsy. Do not exceed more than an absolute maximum of six capsules in any six hour period.

[top]What is the best way to take them?

Swallowed with a drink (or emptied into a drink for those who do not like swallowing capsules,) approximately 15-30 minutes before sex.

[top]How long do they last?

Generally a three capsule dose will give an intense experience lasting 2-3 hours, after which it begins to act as a sedative, and you will drift off into a thoroughly revitalising sleep.

[top]How do you feel the following day?

Thoroughly revitalised.

[top]Is it OK to mix them with alcohol and other drugs?

The main thing to avoid is mixing Sexstacy with too much alcohol, as this can cause nausea when large amounts of alcohol have been consumed. We also do not recommend mixing with any other drug- Sexstacy is perfect on its own, and you really won't need anything else.

[top]Any particular Cautions regarding Sexstacy?

Besides the above advice to avoid alcohol and drugs, you should not use Sexstacy before driving or operating machinery, since it causes drowsiness. You should not take if you suffer from any adverse heart condition, or if you are using any MAO inhibiting medicines. As a safer, but more general recommendation you should not take these if you are suffering any diagnosed medical condition, or if you are taking any medicines, without first consulting your medical practitioner


Can any1 tell me if this is likely to be active a stated above??
Or has any1 tried this product before???

I am very curious as i have never seen or heard anything about this until now which leads me to think that f were as good as the internet vendor says it would already be alot more well known.

Any help or information would be greatly appreciated!:)
 
well it looks like 4-OH-2-Furanone is metabolized to GHB.
That would explain its action, if it has any.
Have you tried GHB before?
 
Well I just checked the website, 15 pounds for 3 pills - what a fucking rip off!
You could buy a whole bottle of GBL for that price.
 
Yes i have tried GHB and GBL many times....hence my interest in this product...
I no that the manufacturer is claiming that it is metabolised into GHB in the body, im really hoping that some1 can shed some light on how and why??
And i was really hoping that some1 here had tried or could give more information on doses etc etc....

cheers for ya quick response tho johannes....
 
This product hasn't been sold for a LONG LONG time (even though that same website has had it displayed but "out of stock" for equally a long long time), you'll probably find it incredibly hard trying to find any sort of solid information on exactly what it contained. (although would equally be interested :) )

The chemical name itself doesn't make any sense.


There are very limited actual pro-drugs of GHB, none of them would likely fit in a capsule full of other herbs & vitamins. (yes GBL alone is possible if sealed well and in gelatin not vegicaps, unlikely it can be mixed well with herbs & vitamins in any appreciable dose though - although might be possible in a very small dose ?)

So that leaves the possibility of a very strange new analogue (less likely) or GHB salt. Considering how long ago this product was sold probably GHB salt (when it was legal) but this is just a guess. :\


Chemical name: 4-hydroxy-2-furanone (image below) but that simply looks incorrect. Almost like a pro-drug to some GBL GABOB analogue. (likely wrong for intentional confusion, no doubt those oh so philanthropic legal high companies again 8( )

Cheers for the info reminisant B....
Thats pretty much what i figured...

But if any1 has tried this before and/or has any other relevany information it would be much appreciated..!%)
 
Rem B, the structure written looks quite weird from the enol form.
anyhow, it looks like something GABOB/GBL/Hydroxycrotonate like to me, with the wrong geometrical orientation to be active. (only spectaculary with no evidence).

That's why I said it's likely the chemical was named wrong (+/-intentionally) on the ingredients.

Ingredient on packet or website: "4OH-2-Furanone"

So assuming 4OH is 4-HO (Assumption No:1) > 4-hydroxy-2-furanone > automatically drawn using chemical software. [image above]

Again wouldn't be surprised if any of the strange GBL/GHB analogues are the real ingredients as trying to figure it out from "4OH-2-furanone" it doesn't make sense.

i'll bet it simply was 4-HYDROXYVALERIC ACID GAMMA-LACTONE and was intentionally misspelled

I bet this product is "crotonolactone" rather than valerolactone...

however, hydrolysis will give cis-hydroxycrotonate which doesnt seem to be active (trans is)
 
Yep In conlucsion I would say make the assumption it *was* (when sold) probably either GHB salt or one of the known pro-drugs (or known analogues). This could include gabob and all sorts.

Also changing ingredients over time whilst not changing the packets ingredients list is also possible.

So definately don't make any firm conclusions on what exactly 4-hydroxy-furanone does (can't even find reference in chem database) simply because it was listed as a (+/-intentionally) incorrect ingredient.
