Metabolite Identification
Common NameBeta-Aminopropionitrile
DescriptionBeta-Aminopropionitrile, also known as 2-cyanoethylamine or BAPN, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as nitriles. Nitriles are compounds having the structure RC#N; thus C-substituted derivatives of hydrocyanic acid, HC#N. Beta-Aminopropionitrile is a drug. Beta-Aminopropionitrile is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Beta-Aminopropionitrile exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Beta-Aminopropionitrile is a potentially toxic compound.
