Application

Nipecotic acid was used in determination of the antiepileptic drug vigabatrin and the amino acid neurotransmitters in rat brain extracellular fluid by capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection.
Reactant for concurrent esterification and N-acteylation of amino acids with orthoesters

Reactant for synthesis of:
Anticonvulsants
HCV NS5B polymerase inhibitors
Cathepsin S inhibitors
Orally bioavailable P2Y12 antagonists for inhibition of platelet aggregation
Positive allosteric modulator of metabotropic glutamate receptor 4

General description

R(−)-Nipecotic acid is a potential inhibitor of uptake of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in rat brain slices. Lipophilic derivatives of nipecotic acid are used as drugs for the treatment of epilepsy.
