beta-hydroxypentanoate

Small moleculeexperimental

3-Hydroxyvaleric acid is the organic compound with the formula CH3CH2CH(OH)CH2CO2H. It is one of the hydroxypentanoic acids. It is made from odd carbon fatty acids in the liver and rapidly enters the brain. As opposed to 4-carbon ketone bodies, 3-hydroxyvaleric acid is anaplerotic, meaning it can refill the pool of TCA cycle intermediates. The triglyceride triheptanoin is used clinically to produce 3-hydroxyvalerate. — Wikipedia
