R-Nipecotic Acid

Enhance your neurological research and pharmaceutical development with R-Nipecotic Acid (CAS No.: 25137-00-2, CAT No.: SRCN-009). This compound is the R-enantiomer of nipecotic acid, a piperidine monocarboxylic acid that acts as a selective inhibitor of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) uptake, making it valuable for studies on neurotransmission, anticonvulsant drug development, and neuroprotective therapy.

The molecular formula is C₆H₁₁NO₂ with a molecular weight of approximately 129.16 g/mol. R-Nipecotic Acid generally appears as a white to beige crystalline powder with a melting point around 251–255 °C (decomposition). It is sparingly soluble in water and slightly soluble in methanol. It is best stored in a sealed container in a dark, dry place at room temperature.
