Product Information

• Name: 4-Octanamidobutanoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Octanamidobutanoic acid is an antinociceptive drug that binds to the GABA receptor, which plays a role in regulating pain. It has been shown to inhibit proton release from glial cells and extracellular Ca2+ influx. 4-Octanamidobutanoic acid also inhibits glutamate activity and increases gamma-aminobutyric acid levels. This drug is used in the diagnosis of neural disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, by altering dopaminergic pathways. 4-Octanamidobutanoic acid is also used as a research tool for studying biochemical mechanisms of pain in animals.
