Product Description: Tramiprosate (Standard) is the analytical standard of Tramiprosate. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Tramiprosate (Homotaurine), an orally active and brain-penetrant natural amino acid found in various species of red marine algae. Tramiprosate binds to soluble Aβ and maintains Aβ in a non-fibrillar form. Tramiprosate is also a GABA analog and possess neuroprotection, anticonvulsion and antihypertension effects[1][2][3].
Formula: C3H9NO3S
