Natural Product Identification
Common Name2-Hydroxycaproic acid
Description2-Hydroxycaproic acid, also known as 2-hydroxyhexanoic acid is a hydroxy fatty acid that is caproic (hexanoic) acid substituted by a hydroxy group at position 2. It has a role as an animal metabolite. It derives from a hexanoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 2-hydroxyhexanoate. 2-Hydroxycaproic acid is a branched-chain alpha-keto acid that have been reported in normal human blood (PMID: 7130306 ) And in normal amniotic fluid (PMID: 7076774 ). It has been found that 2-hydroxycaproic acid is the most significant metabolite found in the CSF of patients infected with Nocardia. Nocardia sp. Is an uncommon cause of meningitis, and Nocardia meningitis has a clinical picture similar to that of tuberculous meningitis (PMID: 3818936 ; PMID: 20615997 ).
