Product Description
Mechanism of action
Aceglutamide is an acylated derivative of the amino acid L‑glutamine. It is believed to support neuronal metabolism and protein synthesis by acting as a glutamine donor and modulating cerebral energy utilisation. Historically it has been explored as a neurotropic or nootropic agent in certain neurological conditions.
Benefits and advantages
Aceglutamide is valued as a stable, water‑soluble form of glutamine suitable for parenteral or oral formulations. It has been investigated for potential benefits on cognitive function, recovery after brain injury and general support of neuronal metabolism, although clinical evidence remains limited and indication‑ specific.
Side effects and risks
The compound is generally well tolerated in studied doses, with occasional reports of gastrointestinal discomfort, flushing or mild excitability. Nevertheless, its neuroactive profile and limited contemporary data mean that use should be restricted to controlled clinical or research settings. As with all injectable raw materials, strict aseptic processing and quality control are essential.
