2-Cyclohexylpropanoic acid

Description:

2-Cyclohexylpropanoic acid, with the CAS number 6051-13-4, is an organic compound characterized by its cyclohexyl group attached to a propanoic acid backbone. This substance is a carboxylic acid, which means it contains a carboxyl functional group (-COOH) that imparts acidic properties. The presence of the cyclohexyl group contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, influencing its solubility in organic solvents while making it less soluble in water. 2-Cyclohexylpropanoic acid is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. It has applications in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. The compound's structure allows for potential interactions in biological systems, which may be of interest in medicinal chemistry. As with many organic acids, it may exhibit moderate to strong acidity, and safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as it can be irritating to skin and eyes.

2-Cyclohexylpropanoic acid (2CPA) is a naturally occurring compound that has been shown to have antioxidant properties. It has been shown to inhibit the formation of reactive oxygen species, such as peroxides, which are involved in membrane lipid peroxidation. 2CPA also inhibits the oxidation of branched-chain amino acids by inhibiting the activity of dehydrogenase enzymes and preventing the production of reactive aldehydes. 2CPA has been shown to induce melatonin synthesis in cells and can be used as a rinse for membranes. The mechanism of its antioxidant activity is not known, but it may involve the inhibition of phosphite reductase or other phosphorylated enzymes. This chiral compound can exist as either enantiomers, with only one form shown to have any biological activity.
