Description

Succinicsemialdehyde is a semialdehyde that is formed by the oxidative degradation of succinic acid. Succinicsemialdehyde has been shown to have high affinity for 5-HT3 receptors, which are found in the gastrointestinal tract and are involved in intestinal motility and bowel disease. The 5-HT3 receptor has been shown to be an important target for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome. This semialdehyde also inhibits polymerase chain reaction (PCR) activity, which may be due to its ability to inhibit DNA synthesis. Succinicsemialdehyde has been shown to inhibit enzymes involved in energy metabolism, such as glutamate dehydrogenase and pyruvate formate lyase. The structural analysis of this molecule shows a keto group at C2, which indicates that it is a keto acid.
