Nipecotic acid

Description:
Nipecotic acid, also known as 1-piperidinecarboxylic acid, is a cyclic amino acid characterized by its piperidine ring structure. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and organic solvents, reflecting its polar nature due to the presence of both a carboxylic acid and an amine functional group. Nipecotic acid is known for its role as a GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) uptake inhibitor, which has implications in neuropharmacology, particularly in the study of anxiety and seizure disorders. The compound exhibits a melting point that is typical for similar cyclic amino acids and has a moderate molecular weight. Its chemical formula is C6H11NO2, and it features a chiral center, leading to the existence of enantiomers. Nipecotic acid is also of interest in medicinal chemistry for its potential therapeutic applications, including its influence on neurotransmitter systems. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as with many chemical substances, due to potential irritant properties.
