Description
Gabapentin (CAS 60142-96-3) is a gamma-aminobutyric acid analogue supplied as a pharmaceutical-grade active ingredient and chemical intermediate. It is also referenced under the designations CI-945, Go 3450, and the trade names Bexal and Gabapen. No E-code designation applies to this substance.
In pharmaceutical formulation, gabapentin functions as the active component in anticonvulsant and neuropathic pain therapies by modulating voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system. In personal care applications, it serves as a humectant and pH buffer, drawing moisture into the skin matrix and stabilising formulation pH to maintain product stability and skin compatibility.
This material is available in pharmaceutical-grade crystalline form, compliant with Ph.Eur. monograph specifications and subject to REACH registration requirements within the European market. It is classified under HS code 29224900. Procurement enquiries for bulk and research quantities are accepted, with documentation packages available upon request.
