Nipecotic Acid

Advance your neuroscience, pharmaceutical, and organic synthesis research with Nipecotic Acid (CAS No.: 498-95-3, CAT No.: SRCN-010). Nipecotic acid, also known as piperidine-3-carboxylic acid, is a piperidine derivative where the hydrogen at position 3 is substituted by a carboxylic acid. It functions as a GABA uptake inhibitor and has applications in neuropharmacology, particularly in the study and potential treatment of epilepsy and anxiety disorders.

The molecular formula is C₆H₁₁NO₂, and the molecular weight is approximately 129.16 g/mol. It typically appears as a white to off-white powder with a melting point of 261 °C (decomposition). Nipecotic acid is soluble in water (around 50 mg/mL) and slightly soluble in methanol. It should be stored sealed in a dark, dry place at room temperature, preferably under inert atmosphere to maintain stability.
