Description

4-Chlorobutyric acid is a fatty acid with the chemical formula CH3ClC(O)CH2CO2H. It can be found in animal fats, vegetable oils, and butter. 4-Chlorobutyric acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of PC12 cells by hydrogen bonding to the cell membrane. This inhibition results in an increase in sodium hydroxide solution activity, which leads to increased production of gamma-aminobutyric acid. The butyrolactone that is produced inhibits nerve function and has been shown to have biological treatment potential for hydrochloric acid and cell culture models.
