Application

L-Pipecolic acid has been used as a standard for the quantification by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-Pipecolic acid is a lysine metabolite; defect in its catabolism is involved in hyperpipecolic acidemia, cerebro-hepato-renal syndrome, neonatal onset adrenoleukodystrophy, and infantile Refsum disease.

L-pipecolic acid is implicated in Zellweger syndrome. Pipecolic acid is also a plant defence metabolite. It is a signaling compound essential for systemic acquired resistance (SAR).

General description
