Description

Tiglic acid is a sodium salt that can be synthesized in an asymmetric synthesis. It is a white crystalline powder with a melting point of 190-191°C. Tiglic acid has been shown to increase the activity of cinchonidine, which is a compound often used to treat eye disorders and chronic arthritis. Tiglic acid also has the ability to bind to fatty acids, which may be due to hydrogen bonding interactions. In vitro assays have shown that tiglic acid's antimicrobial properties are related to its ability to cause cell lysis by interacting with fatty acids on the cell membrane.
