Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Lactamide is a small organic compound structurally classified as an amide derivative of lactic acid. It has limited documented bioactivity but may act as a mild central nervous system depressant, historically investigated for potential sedative effects. Its mechanism of action is not well-characterized, though it is presumed to interact weakly with neurotransmitter systems or metabolic enzymes due to its structural similarity to endogenous lactate derivatives.
