5-Nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic Acid (NPPB) (5-NPA) exists as a colorless crystalline solid, readily soluble in water and other polar solvents. The utilization of 5-Nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic Acid (NPPB) spans a broad range of scientific research endeavors. In in vitro studies, its effects on enzymes, proteins, and other biological molecules have been scrutinized. While the precise mechanism of action of 5-Nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic Acid (NPPB) is still being unravelled, current understanding suggests that it acts as an inhibitor of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. This particular enzyme plays a vital role in the breakdown of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. By inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, 5-Nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic Acid (NPPB) leads to an accumulation of acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft.
