Natural Product Identification
Common Name5-hydroxyvaleric acid
Description5-Hydroxypentanoic acid, also known as 5-hydroxyvaleric acid or 4-oxy-butan-carbonsaeure, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxy fatty acids. These are fatty acids in which the chain bears a hydroxyl group. 5-hydroxyvaleric acid is found in Trypanosoma brucei. 5-hydroxyvaleric acid was first documented in 1976 (PMID: 788806). 5-Hydroxypentanoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral (PMID: 1352515) (PMID: 1970730) (PMID: 2190964).
