3-Hydroxyoctanoic acid

CAS: 14292-27-4

3-Hydroxyoctanoic acid is an activated fatty acid that belongs to the group of short-chain fatty acids. It is a hydroxylated derivative of octanoic acid. 3-Hydroxyoctanoic acid has been shown to have antibiotic-resistant properties in human macrophages, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the enzyme activities of beta-lactamases and penicillinase. 3-Hydroxyoctanoic acid also has a nutrient effect on bacteria, preventing the formation of ester linkages between fatty acids and alkanoic acids. This activity may be due to its effects on energy metabolism in bacteria, which may be caused by its ability to inhibit cyclic lipopeptide synthesis and its effects on the citrate cycle.
