S-Nipecotic Acid

Advance your neuroscience, pharmaceutical, and biochemical research with S-Nipecotic Acid (CAS No.: 59045-82-8, CAT No.: SRCN-008). Also known as (S)-(+)-nipecotic acid, this compound is a chiral piperidine derivative where the 3-position carries a carboxylic acid, acting as a specific GABA uptake inhibitor with potential antidepressant and anxiolytic properties. It plays a significant role in neurological and psychiatric disorder research.

The molecular formula is C₆H₁₁NO₂ with a molecular weight of 129.16 g/mol. S-Nipecotic Acid is a white to faint pink-beige crystalline powder with a melting point of 254 °C (decomposition). It is soluble in water and typically stored in a dark, inert atmosphere at room temperature to preserve stability.
