Product Information
Name:3-Methylnonanoic acid
Brand:Biosynth
Description:3-Methylnonanoic acid is a fatty acid that is involved in the metabolism of energy. It is a long-acting contraceptive and has been shown to decrease body fat and weight gain in animals. 3-Methylnonanoic acid also inhibits the uptake of fatty acids into cells, which may be due to its ability to acetylate the cytosolic protein acyl CoA synthetase 2 (ACS2). The acetylation of ACS2 may alter its conformation, leading to an inefficient method for fatty acid uptake. 3-Methylnonanoic acid can be synthesized in a two-step process by cross-coupling of methyl esters with acetonitrile. This efficient synthesis provides a practical method for producing this compound on an industrial scale.
