<h3>Overview</h3>
<p>(S)-3-Aminobutyric acid, also known as <strong>S-ABA</strong>, is a chiral organic acid with the molecular formula <strong>C<sub>4</sub>H<sub>9</sub>NO<sub>2</sub></strong> and CAS No. <strong>56810-78-9</strong>. It is primarily synthesized via enzymatic resolution or asymmetric synthesis to ensure high optical purity.</p>
<h3>Application</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pharmaceuticals:</strong> Serves as a key chiral building block for synthesizing beta-lactam antibiotics and GABA receptor modulators.</li>
<li><strong>Research:</strong> Utilized in biochemical assays to study neurotransmitter pathways and enzyme kinetics.</li>
<li><strong>Agrochemicals:</strong> Investigated for potential use in plant growth regulators due to its structural similarity to natural amino acids.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Precautions</h3>
<p>Store in a cool, dry place under inert atmosphere to prevent racemization. Use appropriate PPE during handling; avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin. Not approved for direct human consumption without pharmaceutical formulation.</p>
