4-Oxobutanoic acid

Description:

4-Oxobutanoic acid, also known as 4-oxobutanoate or 4-ketopentanoic acid, is a five-carbon dicarboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a ketone functional group at the fourth carbon position. Its molecular formula is C5H8O3, and it features both a carboxylic acid group and a ketone, which contribute to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its state and purity. It is soluble in water and polar organic solvents, making it versatile for various chemical reactions. 4-Oxobutanoic acid can participate in condensation reactions, serving as a building block in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, which can be of interest in medicinal chemistry. Proper handling and storage are essential, as with many organic acids, to ensure safety and stability.

Succinicsemialdehyde

CAS: 692-29-5

Succinicsemialdehyde is a semialdehyde that is formed by the oxidative degradation of succinic acid. Succinicsemialdehyde has been shown to have high affinity for 5-HT3 receptors, which are found in the gastrointestinal tract and are involved in intestinal motility and bowel disease. The 5-HT3 receptor has been shown to be an important target for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome. This semialdehyde also inhibits polymerase chain reaction (PCR) activity, which may be due to its ability to inhibit DNA synthesis. Succinicsemialdehyde has been shown to inhibit enzymes involved in energy metabolism, such as glutamate dehydrogenase and pyruvate formate lyase. The structural analysis of this molecule shows a keto group at C2, which indicates that it is a keto acid.
