(R)-3-Hydroxybutyric acid is a cell-permeable, biocompatible polymer that has been shown to be useful as a contrast agent in tissue imaging. It is a derivative of the amino acid glycine and has been used extensively in analytical methods for the detection of terminal residues on polymers. The intramolecular hydrogen bond between the carboxylate group of (R)-3-hydroxybutyric acid and the amide hydrogens of glycine provides an example of hydrogen bonding in polymers. This polymer has also been used for cell lysis, preparative high performance liquid chromatography, and biological studies. (R)-3-Hydroxybutyric acid can be fluorescently labeled with fluorescein or rhodamine dyes to provide structural analysis and biological properties.
