L-Aspartic acid potasium salt
VX-548, the potassium salt of L-aspartic acid, is a research compound that induces nitrogen oxide production to enhance phagocytosis and support fish survival in vivo. Its potential to stimulate antibiotic activity is linked to its role as a precursor in the aspartic acid-4-semialdehyde biosynthesis pathway.
