Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Hydroxycapric acid
Description3-Hydroxycapric acid, also known as 3-hydroxy-decanoate or myrmicacin, 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. 3-Hydroxycapric acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
