Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-Pipecolic acid
DescriptionD-Pipecolic acid, also known as 6-carboxypiperidine or (R)-pipecolate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as d-alpha-amino acids. These are alpha amino acids which have the D-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. D-Pipecolic acid exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule.
