Tramiprosate (Cat No.:I003357) is a natural amino acid derived from red seaweeds that can cross the blood-brain barrier. It has several pharmacological effects, including binding to soluble amyloid-beta (Aβ) and preventing its aggregation into fibrils, which is associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Tramiprosate is also an analog of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter with neuroprotective, anticonvulsant, and antihypertensive properties. Its ability to modulate Aβ and GABA pathways makes it a potential therapeutic option for neurodegenerative disorders.
