Description

N-Isopropylmaleimide is an organic compound that belongs to the group of catalysed compounds. It is used in biosynthesis, and it is also a metabolite of various fatty acid metabolites. N-Isopropylmaleimide catalyzes the hydrolysis of propionate to form pyruvate and acetic acid, which can be further oxidized to form acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide. The molecule has been shown to polymerize fatty acids and increase the growth rate of yeast cells in culture. It also reacts with orthophosphoric acid forming a protonated product, which is subsequently hydrolyzed by water.
