• Description: Pentaric acid is a crystalline, monocarboxylic acid with a hydroxyl group. It is used as an inhibitor of corrosion in metal and as a disinfectant. Pentaric acid can be found in urine samples and has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of the enzymatic reaction that produces azobenzene, which is associated with the development of bladder cancer. This compound also inhibits the growth of bacteria. Pentaric acid is used as an additive in some detergents and soaps because it can inhibit the growth of bacteria on surfaces. Pentaric acid was first synthesized by German chemist Otto Wohlert in 1834. Hydrogen ions are released when pentaric acid dissolves in water, lowering the pH level and causing corrosion to metal surfaces. The corrosion inhibition properties of pentaric acid have been known since its discovery, but its anti-bacterial properties were not discovered until recently when researchers found that pentar
