Cycloheptylacetic acid

Description:

Cycloheptylacetic acid is a cyclic carboxylic acid characterized by a seven-membered carbon ring with a carboxylic acid functional group. Its molecular formula is C8H14O2, indicating the presence of eight carbon atoms, fourteen hydrogen atoms, and two oxygen atoms. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. Cycloheptylacetic acid is known for its relatively low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. It exhibits typical acid properties, including the ability to donate protons in solution. The compound is of interest in organic synthesis and may serve as a building block for more complex molecules. Additionally, it can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation, making it valuable in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.

2-Cycloheptylacetic acid

CAS: 4401-20-1

2-Cycloheptylacetic acid (2CHA) is a hydrochloride salt of 2-cycloheptylacetic acid. It has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of the GABA transaminase enzyme, which leads to GABA accumulation in the brain and thus an increase in GABAergic signalling. This inhibition leads to increased inhibitory neurotransmission and decreased excitatory neurotransmission in the brain. 2CHA has been validated with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy as a diagnostic tool for bowel disease, with potential applications for inflammatory bowel disease.
