Descripción

Pivalic acid is a carboxylic acid that can be found in crystalline cellulose. It is used as a solvent for cellulose and a stabilizing agent for other substances, such as plastics. Pivalic acid has been shown to prevent the onset of hepatic steatosis (fatty liver disease) in rats treated with alcohol. This compound also releases mitochondrial membrane potential, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the process of acetylcholine synthesis in the central nervous system. Pivalic acid has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. A study revealed that pivalic acid inhibits skin cancer by suppressing tumor growth and inducing apoptosis via activation of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR). The compound's use as an industrial chemical can lead to wastewater contamination, but it has also been proposed as a treatment for water polluted by organic compounds such as benzene or chloroform.
