adipic acid

Adipic acid is a precursor for the production of nylon.

3-Methyladipic acid is a metabolite of the catabolism of phytanic acid. Patients with adult Refsums disease (ARD) are unable to detoxify phytanic acid by alpha-oxidation, and so the w-oxidation pathway is the only metabolic pathway available for phytanic

Oxoadipic acid (2-Oxoadipic acid) is a key metabolite of the essential amino acids tryptophan and lysine.Important metabolite between the TCA cycle and lysine biosynthesis. Of interest for research on mitochondrial metabolite transporters.

2-Hydroxyadipic acid (2-hydroxyhexanedioic acid) is an organic acid formed by the reduction of 2-ketoadipic acid.

Aminoadipic acid (DL-2-Aminoadipic acid) (2-aminoadipate) is a metabolite in the principal biochemical pathway of lysine. It is an intermediate in the metabolism (i.e. breakdown or degradation) of lysine and saccharopine. It antagonizes neuroexcitatory activity modulated by the glutamate receptor N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA). Aminoadipic acid has also been shown to inhibit the production of kynurenic acid, a broad spectrum excitatory amino acid receptor antagonist, in brain tissue slices.

3-Ketoadipic acid is a dicarboxylic acid containing a keto group, which can be isolated from Brazilian propolis (Et-Bra). Brazilian propolis is known for its antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic properties.

Bis(2-ethylhexyl)hexanedioate (NSC 56775) is a diester produced by the formal condensation of the carboxyl group of adipic acid with 2-ethylhexan-1-ol, and is used as a plasticizer in the preparation of various polymers.
