Natural Product Identification
Common Name6-hydroxyhexanoic acid
Description6-Hydroxyhexanoic acid, also known as 6-hydroxy caproate or 5-carboxypentanol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain hydroxy acids and derivatives. These are hydroxy acids with a 6 to 12 carbon atoms long side chain. 6-Hydroxyhexanoic acid was identified as the immediate product of hexanoate w-hydroxylation by whole cells and was further oxidized into adipic acid and an unexpected metabolite identified as 2-tetrahydrofuranacetic acid. 6-Hydroxyhexanoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 6-Hydroxyhexanoic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Similar observations were made with 1,6-hexanediol serving as the carbon source and cells obtained from one organism,Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO, grown either on 1,6-hexanediol or 6-hydroxyhexanoate,were found to be well induced for both 6-oxohexanoate and adipate oxidation. This same metabolite, together with adipic acid, was also detected when similarly induced cells were incubated with hexanoate or 1,6-hexanediol, but not with 6-oxohexanoate (adipic semialdehyde). 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid is found in Homo sapiens. It was first documented in 1983 (PMID: 6630146). Cells grown on hexanoate and incubated with 6-Hydroxyhexanoic acid were also found to accumulate 2-tetrahydrofuranacetic acid, which was not further degraded (PMID: 14698179).
