Description

4-Methylthiophene-2-carboxylic acid is a neurotransmitter analogue that interacts with glutamate receptors. It has been shown to induce chemotaxis in human neutrophils. This compound has been synthesized using an NMR spectroscopy technique and has been shown to have an identical structure to l-glutamic acid. 4-Methylthiophene-2-carboxylic acid is used as a control in enzyme assays and in the study of the interactions between drugs and neurotransmitters. In addition, this molecule inhibits γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) uptake, which leads to increased levels of GABA in the brain. The effects of 4-methylthiophene are reversible by vigabatrin, which is used for the treatment of epilepsy.
