2-hydroxyphytanic acid - Introduction
2-Hydroxyphytic acid (2-hydroxyphytanic acid) is an organic compound, also known as 2-hydroxy-2, 6,10, 5-hydroxyphytic acid. It is a long-chain fatty acid with a hydroxyl group and four methyl groups in its structure.
2-hydroxyphytic acid is converted into phytase, an important metabolite in the organism. It is associated with Refsum disease in humans. Refsum disease is a rare inherited metabolic disease that causes the body's 2-hydroxyphytic acid to not be metabolized normally, causing neurological problems.
At present, 2-hydroxyphytic acid is used as a biomarker in medical research for the diagnosis and monitoring of Refsum disease. Its presence can be detected by analyzing a sample of blood or body fluid.
2-Hydroxy phytic acid can be prepared by natural sources and synthetic methods. In a natural manner, it can be produced from phytic acid by an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. And through the artificial synthesis method, can use organic synthesis chemical reaction to synthesize.
There is limited information regarding the safety of 2-hydroxyphytic acid. Because of its application in the medical field, the related research mainly focuses on its metabolism and biological activity in the human body. Therefore, detailed data on toxicity and safety require further study and evaluation.
