3-Hydroxyoctanoic acid (CAS: 14292-27-4) is an organic 3-hydroxy dicarboxylic acid, a metabolite of medium-chain fatty acid oxidation found in human urine. It is believed that urinary 3-hydroxy dicarboxylic acids are derived from the omega-oxidation of 3-hydroxy fatty acids and the subsequent beta-oxidation of longer-chain 3-hydroxy dicarboxylic acids. (PMID:1870421). 3-Hydroxyoctanoic acid has been identified in the human placenta (PMID: 32033212). 3-Hydroxycaprylic acid is an organic (3-hydroxy dicarboxylic) acid, a metabolite of medium-chain fatty acid oxidation found in human urine. It is believed that urinary 3-hydroxy dicarboxylic acids are derived from the w-oxidation of 3-hydroxy fatty acids and the subsequent b-oxidation of longer-chain 3-hydroxy dicarboxylic acids.
