Pipecolic acid (piperidine-2-carboxylic acid) is an organic compound with the formula HNC₅H₉CO₂H. It is a carboxylic acid derivative of piperidine and, as such, an amino acid, although not one encoded genetically. Like many other α-amino acids, pipecolic acid is chiral, although the S-stereoisomer is more common. It is a colorless solid.

Its biosynthesis starts from lysine.^[1] CRYM, a taxon-specific protein that also binds thyroid hormones, is involved in the pipecolic acid pathway.

Medicine

It accumulates in pipecolic acidemia. Elevation of pipecolic acid can be associated with some forms of epilepsy, such as pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy.^[2]^[3]

Occurrence and reactions

Like most amino acids, pipecolic acid is a chelating agent. One complex is Cu(HNC₅H₉CO₂)₂(H₂O)₂.^[4]

Pipecolic acid was identified in the Murchison meteorite.^[5] It also occurs in the leaves of the genus Myroxylon, a tree from South America.^[6]
