描述
9-hydroxynonanoic acid, also known as 9-hydroxy pelargonate or omega-hydroxynonanoate, belongs to medium-chain hydroxy acids and derivatives class of compounds. Those are hydroxy acids with a 6 to 12 carbon atoms long side chain. Thus, 9-hydroxynonanoic acid is considered to be a fatty acid lipid molecule. 9-hydroxynonanoic acid is slightly soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 9-hydroxynonanoic acid can be synthesized from nonanoic acid. 9-hydroxynonanoic acid is also a parent compound for other transformation products, including but not limited to, oscr#10, (3R)-3,9-dihydroxynonanoic acid, and icos#10. 9-hydroxynonanoic acid can be found in potato, which makes 9-hydroxynonanoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
