2-Oxoadipic acid

Description:

2-Oxoadipic acid, also known as 2-ketoadipic acid, is an organic compound characterized by its dicarboxylic acid structure, featuring two carboxyl groups (-COOH) and a ketone group (C=O) adjacent to one of the carboxyl groups. Its molecular formula is C6H8O5, and it is typically a white crystalline solid. This compound is soluble in water and exhibits acidic properties due to the presence of the carboxylic acid groups. 2-Oxoadipic acid plays a role in various biochemical pathways, particularly in the metabolism of lysine and other amino acids. It is also involved in the synthesis of certain polymers and can serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis. The compound is of interest in research related to metabolic disorders and may have applications in the development of pharmaceuticals. Safety data indicates that, like many organic acids, it should be handled with care to avoid irritation to skin and eyes.

2-Oxoadipic acid

CAS: 3184-35-8

2-Oxoadipic acid is an intermediate in the metabolism of lysine, which is an essential amino acid that cannot be synthesized by humans and must be obtained from diet. It can be converted to picolinic acid by oxidation of the methyl group on the 2-position. The enzyme activities of 2-oxoadipic acid are similar to those of picolinic acid, but it has a longer half-life and does not cause toxicity in cells. 2-Oxoadipic acid has been used as a fluorescent derivative for biological samples and as a model system for studying cell signaling pathways and physiological functions. Chemical biology studies have shown that 2-oxoadipic acid is involved in energy metabolism and may serve as a precursor for synthesis of other compounds such as riboflavin.
