Chemical Structure
2-Propylpent-4-ynoic acid
Synonym(s): 4-yn-VPA
- CAS No.: 24102-11-2
- Formula:C8H12O2
- Molecular Weight:140.18
IUPAC Name: 2-propylpent-4-ynoic acid
InChIKey: KWBNQXQUIZBELR-UHFFFAOYSA-N
SMILES: O=C(O)C(CC#C)CCC
Biological Activity: 2-Propylpent-4-ynoic acid (4-yn-VPA) is a HDAC inhibitor (with an IC50 of 0.5 mM against human HDAC). 2-Propylpent-4-ynoic acid also induces P-glycoprotein function, and exhibits teratogenicity, fetal growth inhibition and neurotoxicity. 2-Propylpent-4-ynoic acid shows significant stereospecific teratogenic effects, with the S-enantiomer being more teratogenic than the R-enantiomer and other analogs. The neurotoxicity of 2-Propylpent-4-ynoic acid is independent of its stereochemical structure. 2-Propylpent-4-ynoic acid has been used in studies related to the pathogenesis of colon cancer and neural tube defects such as exencephaly[1][2].
