Application

3-Nitropropionic acid has been used:
  • to generate multiple system atropy-parkinsoniam (MSA-P) model in rat to evaluate its effect on embryonic striatal and mesencephalic grafts
  • to inject into the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway in rats in order to examine its specific effects on the dopamine system
  • as succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) inhibitor for LUHMES neurons and cell lines

Biochem/physiol Actions

Administering 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP) to the inner ear can stimulate sensorineural hearing loss. It serves as an irreversible inhibitor of mitochondrial complex II.
Excitotoxin shown to cause brain lesions similar to those of Huntington′s disease.
