Beschreibung

2-Hydroxybutanoic acid is a metabolite of the amino acid leucine and is involved in many biological processes. It has been shown to have a potential role as a biomarker for coronary heart disease. 2-hydroxybutanoic acid is produced by human serum and other tissues, such as the heart, liver, and kidney. It has been shown to have an activity index of 0.062 in plasma mass spectrometry experiments on human serum samples. This compound has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by inhibiting protein synthesis via enzyme activities that are specific for bacteria. This process leads to disease activity reduction and improved energy metabolism in patients with coronary heart disease. Sample preparation techniques for this compound include enzyme digestion followed by liquid-liquid extraction or solid-phase extraction with silica gel cartridges.
