Metabolite Identification
Common NameButanoic acid, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester
DescriptionButanoic acid, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester, also known as 1-mono-N-butyrin or alpha-monobutyrin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 1-monoacylglycerols. These are monoacylglycerols containing a glycerol acylated at the 1-position. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Butanoic acid, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Butanoic acid, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Butanoic acid, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
