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.

3-Hydroxybutyric acid

CAS: 300-85-6

3-Hydroxybutyric acid is a fatty acid that is the product of the oxidation of butyric acid. It has been shown to have biological functions such as inhibition of glucose uptake and activation of transport properties in recombinant cells. 3-Hydroxybutyric acid also has a role in regulation of intracellular pH, which can be measured by monitoring changes in the levels of hydrochloric acid or sodium salts in urine samples. The biological function of 3-hydroxybutyric acid may be related to its ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This compound has been successfully used as a model protein for cytosolic proteins.
