[(1S)-4-(1-aminobutylideneamino)-1-carboxybutyl]azanium

[(1S)-4-(1-Aminobutylideneamino)-1-carboxybutyl]azanium is a synthetic small molecule belonging to the class of L-alpha-amino acids. It is structurally related to arginine derivatives and has been studied primarily as an experimental compound. The molecule has been identified as a ligand for nitric oxide synthase 1 (NOS1), also known as neuronal nitric oxide synthase, suggesting it may act by interacting with this enzyme, which plays a key role in the production of nitric oxide from L-arginine in neural tissues[2][3]. There are no approved therapeutic indications or marketed products containing this compound, and its pharmacological properties remain largely uncharacterized.
