Aminooxy-acetic acid (AOA)

Aminooxy-acetic acid (AOA) is a GABA transaminase (GABA-T) inhibitor (Ki = 9.16 μM) that induces GABA accumulation in the brain. It also inhibits cystathionine β synthase (CBS) and cystathionine γ lyase (CSE) with IC50 values of 8.5 and 1.1 μM, respectively. Aminooxyacetic acid (Carboxymethoxylamine) is a malate-aspartate shuttle (MAS) inhibitor.
