CAS 79-14-1
:Glycolic acid
Description:
Glycolic acid, with the CAS number 79-14-1, is a colorless, odorless organic compound classified as an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). It is the simplest AHA, featuring a two-carbon backbone with a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), which contributes to its acidic properties. Glycolic acid is highly soluble in water, making it effective for various applications, particularly in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. It is commonly used in skincare products for its exfoliating properties, promoting cell turnover and improving skin texture. Additionally, glycolic acid is utilized in chemical peels and treatments for acne and hyperpigmentation. Its small molecular size allows for better penetration into the skin compared to other AHAs. In terms of safety, glycolic acid can cause irritation at higher concentrations, so it is essential to use it with caution and follow recommended guidelines. Overall, glycolic acid is valued for its versatility and effectiveness in both industrial and cosmetic applications.

CAS:Glycolic acid is a dicarboxylic acid that is used as a chemical peeling agent for the treatment of hyperkeratotic skin disorders. This product has been shown to inhibit the transcription-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in maternal blood, which may be due to its ability to form glycolate from glucose and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. Glycolic acid inhibits the production of malonic acid by inhibiting the enzyme malonate decarboxylase, which converts malonic acid into succinic acid. The inhibition of this enzyme leads to an accumulation of intracellular glycolate and increased levels of succinic acid in cells. Glycolic acid also inhibits dapagliflozin, an inhibitor of sodium-dependent glucose transport proteins, suggesting that it may have pharmacological effects on diabetes mellitus. Glycolic acid binds with fatty acids by forming ester bonds, thereby preventing them from being incorporated intoFormula:C2H4O3Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:76.05 g/mol
