Carboxylic Acids

<p>3-Methylbutanoic acid is an antimicrobial agent that belongs to the group of isovaleric acids. It is a product of β-oxidation and has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by reacting with their surface. 3-Methylbutanoic acid inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the pyrazole ring in DNA and altering its conformation, preventing DNA replication. This reaction occurs at a rate comparable to that of other fluoroquinolones, such as ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and norfloxacin. 3-Methylbutanoic acid has been shown to have antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, particularly those that are resistant to erythromycin or lincomycin.</p>

<p>3-Piperidin-1-ylpropanoic acid is a hydroxylated compound that belongs to the group of aromatic hydrocarbons. It has been shown to inhibit the activity of enzymes such as model studies and test compounds, which are used in biological samples. 3-Piperidin-1-ylpropanoic acid is not active against mouse tumor cells and does not show any locomotor activity. The terminal half life of this drug has been determined in urine samples from mice at 20 hours.</p>

<p>Peptide YY (3-36) (human) trifluoroacetate salt H-Ile-Lys-Pro-Glu-Ala-Pro-Gly-Glu-Asp-Ala-Ser-Pro-Glu-Glu-Leu-Asn -Arg -Tyr -Tyr -Ala -Ser -Leu -Arg <br>Peptide YY (3.36) is a peptide hormone that is secreted by L cells in the small intestine and colon. It has been shown to be an effective treatment for obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic disorders. Peptide YY (3.36) has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity, reduce food intake and body weight, increase metabolic rate, and improve glucose homeostasis in animal studies. In humans, it has been found to have similar effects on postprandial plasma levels of peptide YY (3.</p>
