Metabolite Identification
Common Name(S)-3,4-Dihydroxybutyric acid
Description(S)-3,4-Dihydroxybutyric acid, also known as (S)-3,4-dihydroxybutanoate or 2-deoxytetronic acid, 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 (S)-3,4-Dihydroxybutyric acid has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make (S)-3,4-dihydroxybutyric acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods (S)-3,4-Dihydroxybutyric acid is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites (S)-3,4-Dihydroxybutyric acid, with regard to humans, has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on (S)-3,4-Dihydroxybutyric acid.
