Product Information
Name:6-Hydroxyhexanoic acid
Brand:Biosynth
Description:6-Hydroxyhexanoic acid is an organic acid that is produced by the bacterial metabolism of caproic acid. It can be used to produce inorganic acids such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. 6-Hydroxyhexanoic acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria at low concentrations. This inhibition may be due to its ability to form an adduct with DNA, which inhibits DNA replication and transcription. 6-Hydroxyhexanoic acid also inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, inhibiting translocation and peptide bond formation. 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid also causes genotoxic effects in vitro and structural analysis has revealed a hydroxyl group on the methyl group on one side of the molecule.
