What it is
Isolated in the 1970s from the blood of sleeping rabbits. The name comes from the deep sleep phase in which it was found.
How it works
That is the open question. No receptor has been identified that it clearly acts on, and the described effects range from sleep to stress regulation. It is precisely that uncertainty that keeps it interesting as a research model.
What the research shows
Most work dates from the 1970s and 1980s. Results were not consistent enough to lead to a clear application, which explains why it never went beyond research.
Research status
Preclinical.
Practical
A short chain, keeps well as a powder. Dissolves normally in bacteriostatic water.
