3-HYDROXYHEPTANOIC ACID

Description:

3-Hydroxyheptanoic acid, with the CAS number 17587-29-0, is a medium-chain fatty acid characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the third carbon of a seven-carbon chain. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in water due to its hydroxyl group, which enhances its polarity. It exhibits typical carboxylic acid properties, including the ability to form esters and amides. The presence of the hydroxyl group also allows for potential hydrogen bonding, influencing its physical properties and reactivity. 3-Hydroxyheptanoic acid is of interest in various applications, including as a potential building block in the synthesis of biodegradable polymers and surfactants. Additionally, it may play a role in metabolic pathways and has been studied for its potential health benefits. Its stability and reactivity can be influenced by factors such as pH and temperature, making it important to consider these conditions in practical applications.

3-Hydroxyheptanoic acid

CAS: 17587-29-0

3-Hydroxyheptanoic acid is a synthetic fatty acid that has been shown to have anti-cancer activity in vitro and in vivo. 3-Hydroxyheptanoic acid binds to the hydrophobic amino acids found in the membrane of cancer cells, preventing them from functioning as a transporter for nutrients and oxygen. This leads to cell death by depriving cells of vital nutrients. 3-Hydroxyheptanoic acid also inhibits the growth of mutant cells that have lost their ability to repair DNA damage, which may be due to its inhibition of protein synthesis. The hydrophobic nature of this molecule may also inhibit cancer cell invasion by inhibiting fatty acid synthase and other enzymes involved in lipid production.
