Common Namebeta-Hydroxybutyric acid
Description3-Hydroxybutyric acid, also known as 3-hydroxybutyrate or 3-hydroxybuttersaeure, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as beta hydroxy acids and derivatives. Beta hydroxy acids and derivatives are compounds containing a carboxylic acid substituted with a hydroxyl group on the C3 carbon atom. A straight-chain 3-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid comprising a butyric acid core with a single hydroxy substituent in the 3- position; a ketone body whose levels are raised during ketosis, used as an energy source by the brain during fasting in humans. 3-Hydroxybutyric acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 3-Hydroxybutyric acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, 3-Hydroxybutyric acid is found, on average, in the highest concentration within milk (cow). This could make 3-hydroxybutyric acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 3-Hydroxybutyric acid is a potentially toxic compound. 3-Hydroxybutyric acid, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as alzheimer's disease, colorectal cancer, 3-hydroxydicarboxylic aciduria, and crohn's disease; 3-hydroxybutyric acid has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder 2-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex deficiency.
