Butyric-1,2-^13C2 acid, also known as 1,2-^13C-labeled butyric acid, is a stable isotope-labeled derivative of butyric acid, which is a short-chain fatty acid. It is characterized by the presence of two carbon-13 isotopes at the first and second carbon positions of the butyric acid molecule. This labeling allows for its use in various biochemical and metabolic studies, particularly in tracing metabolic pathways and understanding fatty acid metabolism. Butyric acid itself is known for its role in energy production in the colon, serving as a primary energy source for colonocytes, and it has implications in gut health and anti-inflammatory processes. The compound is typically a colorless liquid with a pungent odor, and it is soluble in water and organic solvents. Its applications extend to research in nutrition, microbiology, and biochemistry, where it can help elucidate the roles of fatty acids in health and disease. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.
