2-Propylpentanedioic acid

Description:

2-Propylpentanedioic acid, also known as 2-propyl-1,2-pentanedicarboxylic acid, is a dicarboxylic acid characterized by the presence of two carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups attached to a five-carbon chain with a propyl group at the second carbon position. This structure imparts unique properties to the compound, including its ability to act as a versatile building block in organic synthesis and its potential applications in the production of polymers, surfactants, and pharmaceuticals. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. It is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical reactions. The presence of multiple functional groups allows for a range of reactivity, including esterification and amidation. Safety data indicates that, like many organic acids, it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation. Overall, 2-propylpentanedioic acid is a valuable compound in both industrial and research settings due to its chemical versatility.

2-Propylglutaric acid (2PGA) is a metabolic byproduct of the metabolism of branched chain amino acids. It is found in urine samples and has been shown to cause liver lesions in rats. 2PGA is metabolized to propionic acid, which can be detected in urine as a marker for renal dysfunction. 2PGA also increases gamma-aminobutyric acid levels in the brain and may have an effect on GABAergic neurotransmission. The elimination rate of 2PGA is slower than that of propionic acid, which means that it persists longer in the body than other metabolites. This chemical ionization technique can be used to measure the concentration of 2PGA and other fatty acids in biological fluids.
