4-Fluorobutanoic acid

Description:

4-Fluorobutanoic acid is a fluorinated carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a fluorine atom at the fourth carbon position of a four-carbon butanoic acid chain. Its molecular formula is C4H7FO2, and it features a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH), which imparts acidic properties. The presence of the fluorine atom can influence the compound's reactivity, polarity, and biological activity, often enhancing its lipophilicity and altering its interaction with biological systems. 4-Fluorobutanoic acid is typically a colorless liquid or solid at room temperature and is soluble in water and organic solvents due to its polar carboxylic acid group. It is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the development of pharmaceuticals. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled, and proper storage conditions should be maintained to prevent degradation.

4-Fluorobutanoic Acid is a fatty acid that is structurally related to the benzimidazole derivatives. It has been shown to be effective in lowering blood pressure in hypertensive rats, which may be due to its ability to inhibit angiotensin and increase vasodilation. 4-Fluorobutanoic Acid also has affinity for fatty acids, which allows it to inhibit fatty acid metabolism and reduce high levels of triglycerides in the bloodstream. The maximal response of 4-fluorobutanoic acid is at a molar ratio of 2:1 with respect to the ligand.
