Beschreibung

2-Hydroxypentanoic acid is a fatty acid that is naturally produced in the body. It is also a reaction product of polylactic acid and malic acid, which are used as low-calorie substitutes for sugar. 2-Hydroxypentanoic acid has been shown to lower LDL cholesterol levels. It can be detected by an analytical method based on diazonium salt hydrolysis or hydrogen chloride mineralization, and it can be found in pharmaceutical dosage forms such as vitamin E acetate and alpha-tocopherol acetate. This compound has been used as a diagnostic tool in the identification of aliphatic hydrocarbons in metabolic profiles.
