INTRODUCTION
N-Acetyl-L-aspartic acid, abbreviated as NAA, is second most abundant molecule in nervous systems after amino acid glutamate. It is synthesized in brain from aspartic acid and acetyl co-enzyme A. It also acts as nutrient.
Manufacture
In a biological process, NAA is produced from rat brain acetone. Commercially, it is manufactured by acetylation of L-aspartic acid bis(trimethylsilyl)ester using acetyl chloride.
