5-Aminovaleric acid

5-Aminovaleric acid, also known as Delta-Amino Valeric Acid, is a delta-amino acid and an omega-amino fatty acid. It is a methylene homologue of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and functions as a weak GABA agonist. This compound is a human and microbial metabolite, found in the gut and in human saliva, with elevated concentrations observed in patients with chronic periodontitis. Additionally, it is recognized as an antifibrinolytic amino acid analog, acting as a weak inhibitor of the blood clotting pathway. It has been listed in pharmaceutical databases like DrugBank and ZINC15.
