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.

γ-Amino butyric acid (GABA) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). A malfunction of the GABAergic neurotransmission is connected to several neuronal disorders like epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, neuropathic pain, and depression. One possibility to enhance

GABA transporter (GAT) blockade recruits extrasynaptic GABAA receptors (GABAA Rs) and amplifies constitutive presynaptic GABAB R activity. Extrasynaptic GABAA Rs contribute to a tonic current. Corticosteroids increase the tonic current mediated by extrasynaptic GABAA Rs. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) neurons in
