1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid
Based on 1 Customer Validation
1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid is an endogenous metabolite. In the presence of low concentrations (1 μM) of glutamate, 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid acts as a small molecule agonist of NMDA receptors with an EC50 of 0.7-0.9 μM. At high concentrations (10 μM) of glutamate, 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid acts as a competitive antagonist of NMDA receptors with an EC50 of 81.6 nM. 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid exerts neuroprotective activity by moderately activating NMDA receptors to prevent neuronal cell death in ischemic animal models. Additionally, 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid is an antagonist of NMDA receptors, inducing blood pressure reduction and antioxidant effects in stroke-prone hypertensive rats. 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid enhances object recognition memory and cognitive flexibility dependent on the prefrontal cortex, but does not affect impulsivity nor exhibit an antipsychotic-like profile. 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid shows promise for research in the field of neurotoxicity..

-
Animal Model:Stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP)[3]
-
Dosage:50 mg/kg
-
Administration:Intraperitoneal (i.p.), once a day for 4 weeks
-
Result:Reduced systolic blood pressure in SHRSP. Additionally, it significantly decreased stroke mortality in SHRSP. Administration of 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid also notably reduced plasma nitrate/nitrite concentration and urinary nitrate/nitrite excretion, and improved relative plasma SOD activity.
