PCPA methyl ester (hydrochloride) (Standard)
PCPA methyl ester (hydrochloride) (Standard) is the analytical standard of PCPA methyl ester (hydrochloride). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. PCPA methyl ester hydrochloride (4-Chloro-DL-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride), a reversible tryptophan hydroxylase inhibitor, is a serotonin (5-HT) synthesis inhibitor. PCPA methyl ester hydrochloride crosses the blood brain barrier and reduces 5-HT central availability[1][2].
