Gamma-Caprolactone (BioDeep_00000017716)

描述信息

Gamma-Caprolactone, also known as 4-ethyl-4-butanolide or 4-hexanolide, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gamma butyrolactones. Gamma butyrolactones are compounds containing a gamma butyrolactone moiety, which consists of an aliphatic five-member ring with four carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and bears a ketone group on the carbon adjacent to the oxygen atom. Thus, Gamma-caprolactone is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. Gamma-Caprolactone is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Gamma-Caprolactone exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Outside of the human body, Gamma-caprolactone has been detected, but not quantified in several different foods, such as potato, cereals and cereal products, pomes, alcoholic beverages, and fruits. It is occasionally found as a volatile component of human urine. In some cases differences up to an order of magnitude are observed. It has been also found in the polar fraction of human blood.
Gamma-caprolactone is a gamma-lactone that is oxolan-2-one substituted by an ethyl group at position 5. It has a role as a human blood serum metabolite.
gamma-Caprolactone is a natural product found in Psidium guajava, Polygala senega, and other organisms with data available.
4-Hexanolide is a metabolite found in or produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

γ-Hexalactone is a gamma-lactone found in ripe fruits. γ-Hexalactone induces DNA damage and acts a substrate of paraoxonase 1 (PON1)[1][2][3].
