CAS 300-85-6: 3-Hydroxybutyric acid

Description: 3-Hydroxybutyric acid, also known as beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHB), is a four-carbon short-chain fatty acid characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the third carbon position. It is a colorless, odorless liquid that is soluble in water and exhibits weak acidic properties. BHB is a key intermediate in the metabolism of fatty acids and plays a significant role in energy production, particularly during periods of fasting or carbohydrate restriction, as it can serve as an alternative energy source for the brain and other tissues. This compound is also notable for its involvement in the ketogenic diet, where it is produced from the breakdown of fatty acids in the liver. Additionally, 3-hydroxybutyric acid has garnered interest in medical research for its potential therapeutic effects, including neuroprotective properties and its role in metabolic disorders. Its CAS number, 300-85-6, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory contexts.
