Product Information

• Name: 4-Aminobutylphosphonic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Aminobutylphosphonic acid is a potent antagonist of the ganglion cell nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. It has been shown to produce irreversible oxidation of the ganglion cell membrane by inhibiting the enzyme catalase, which is responsible for the removal of hydrogen peroxide produced by cells. 4-Aminobutylphosphonic acid also inhibits gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) synthesis and increases locomotor activity in frogs. This drug also binds to functional groups on the frog’s muscle cells and stimulates a nerve impulse that causes muscle contraction. The molecule has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of x-ray diffraction data from calf thymus DNA, vinyl alcohol, and glass slides.
