Nipecotic acid (Standard)
Nipecotic acid (Standard) is the analytical standard of Nipecotic acid. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Nipecotic acid ((±) -β-Homoproline) is a potent inhibitor of neuronal and glial-aminobutyric acid (GABA) uptake in vitro. Nipecotic acid can also directly activate GABAA-like chloride channels, with an EC50 of approximately 300 μM[1][2].
