What Is Vigabatrin?
Vigabatrin (CAS 68506-86-5) is (±)-4-aminohex-5-enoic acid, commonly called γ-vinyl-GABA or rac-Vigabatrin. Molecular formula C6H11NO2; molecular weight about 129.16 g/mol. Always match CAS 68506-86-5 on the batch COA.
In laboratory literature it is described as an irreversible, mechanism-based inhibitor of GABA transaminase (GABA-T / 4-aminobutyrate–2-oxoglutarate transaminase), used to elevate GABA levels in nerve-ending model systems and related anticonvulsant research. Monuo Chemical supplies Vigabatrin as a specialty chemical raw material under Custom synthesis, with batch identity documentation (COA / SDS). Finished-product claims, labeling and local regulatory filings remain the brand manufacturer’s responsibility. Confirm grade and assay against the batch COA for your intended method.
