3-Hydroxyvaleric acid

Description:

3-Hydroxyvaleric acid, with the CAS number 10237-77-1, is a carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the third carbon of a five-carbon straight-chain alkanoic acid (valeric acid). This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in water due to its polar hydroxyl group, which enhances its interaction with water molecules. It has a moderate boiling point and exhibits typical acid properties, such as the ability to donate protons in solution. 3-Hydroxyvaleric acid is of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and materials science, as it can serve as a building block for the synthesis of biodegradable polymers and other chemical intermediates. Its biological relevance is also notable, as it can be produced by certain microorganisms during fermentation processes. Overall, 3-hydroxyvaleric acid is a versatile compound with potential applications in both industrial and research settings.

3-Hydroxypentanoic acid

CAS: 10237-77-1

3-Hydroxypentanoic acid is a fatty acid that is synthesized by the bacterial strain Corynebacterium glutamicum. The optimum concentration of 3-hydroxypentanoic acid for growth ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 M, although cultures can grow with concentrations as high as 1M. 3-Hydroxypentanoic acid is toxic to cells at concentrations higher than 5 M and has been shown to have cytotoxic effects on mammalian cells at concentrations greater than 10 M. This compound inhibits the growth of wild-type strains of bacteria but not mutants, suggesting that it may inhibit protein synthesis or cell division in bacteria. The exact mechanism of action remains unknown, but it may be due to a disruption in calcium homeostasis in the cytosol or an effect on membrane integrity.
