Succinic acid (tromethamine)

Succinic acid tromethamine is a potent and orally active anxiolytic agent. Succinic acid tromethamine is an intermediate product of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Succinic acid tromethamine can be used as a precursor of many industrially important chemicals in food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries[1][2][3].
