Description

Sodium 4-Aminobutyrate is the sodium salt of the neurotransmitter precursor 4-aminobutyric acid (GABA). This compound is valued for its enhanced stability and solubility in aqueous systems compared to the free acid form, making it a versatile intermediate in advanced synthesis. It serves critical functions in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and biochemical research sectors. Industries rely on it for developing neuroactive compounds, dietary supplements, and high-purity research chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of neuropharmaceuticals and prodrugs targeting GABAergic systems.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Used in formulations for dietary supplements aimed at promoting relaxation and supporting neurological health.
• Biochemical Research: Essential reagent in neuroscience and cell biology research for studying GABA receptor function and signal transduction.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into skincare formulations for its potential soothing and calming properties.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a stable, salt-form intermediate in organic synthesis for introducing the 4-aminobutyrate moiety.
• Veterinary Medicine: Component in animal health products designed for stress reduction and behavioral support.

Quality Control

Our Sodium 4-Aminobutyrate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets stringent specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support its use in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product stability and handling properties.
