CAS 320-77-4

Isocitric acid

Description:

Isocitric acid, with the CAS number 320-77-4, is a tricarboxylic acid that plays a significant role in metabolic processes, particularly in the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle). It is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in water, making it readily available for biological reactions. Isocitric acid is a stereoisomer of citric acid, differing in the arrangement of its hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. It has three carboxylic acid functional groups, which contribute to its acidity and reactivity. The compound is often found in various fruits and vegetables, where it participates in energy production and biosynthesis. Isocitric acid can also be used in biochemical research and as a potential food additive due to its sour taste. Its derivatives and salts, known as isocitrates, are also of interest in various industrial applications. Overall, isocitric acid is an important compound in both biological systems and industrial chemistry.

3-Carboxy-2,3-dideoxy-1-hydroxypropan-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle. It is a reagent that can be used to measure enzyme activities of isocitrate dehydrogenase. 3-Carboxy-2,3-dideoxy-1-hydroxypropan-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid has been shown to have a hypoglycemic effect in rats. The mechanism of this effect is not fully understood but may involve the inhibition of enzymes such as phosphoglucose isomerase and glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate dehydrogenase. Studies on wild type organisms have shown that mutations in genes encoding for enzymes involved in the citric acid cycle can affect levels of 3 carboxy -2,3 -dideoxy -1 hydroxy pro pan 1 2 3 tricarboxyl
