3-Oxooctanoyl-CoA
3-Oxooctanoyl-CoA is the substrate of the acetyl-CoA C-acyltransferase/oxoacyl-CoA thiolase A (EC 2.3.1.16, SCP2/3-oxoacyl-CoA thiolase) present in peroxisomes from normal liver. Peroxisomes beta -oxidize a wide variety of substrates including straight chain fatty acids, 2-methyl-branched fatty acids, and the side chain of the bile acid intermediates di- and trihydroxycoprostanic acids. Peroxisomes contain several beta -oxidation pathways with different substrate specificities; or example, straight chain acyl-CoAs are desaturated by palmitoyl-CoA oxidase, and their enoyl-CoAs are then converted to 3-oxoacyl-CoAs by MFP-1, which forms (hydration) and dehydrogenates L-3(3S)-hydroxyacyl-CoAs; for example, straight chain acyl-CoAs are desaturated by palmitoyl-CoA oxidase (23), and their enoyl-CoAs are then converted to 3-oxoacyl-CoAs by 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.35), which forms (hydration) and dehydrogenates L-3(3S)-hydroxyacyl-CoAs and their enoyl-CoAs are then converted to the corresponding 3-oxoacyl-CoAs by long-chain-enoyl-CoA hydratase(EC 4.2.1.74), which forms and dehydrogenates D-3(3R)-hydroxyacyl-CoAs.

3-oxo-Valproic acid CoA
3-oxo-Valproic acid CoA is a metabolite of valproic acid. Valproic acid (VPA) is a chemical compound and an acid that has found clinical use as an anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing drug, primarily in the treatment of epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and, less commonly, major depression. It is also used to treat migraine headaches and schizophrenia. VPA is a liquid at room temperature, but it can be reacted with a base such as sodium hydroxide to form the salt sodium valproate, which is a solid. (Wikipedia)
2-Hydroxy-5-octenoyl-CoA
2-hydroxy-5-octenoyl-coa is an acyl-CoA or acyl-coenzyme A. More specifically, it is a 2-hydroxyoct-5-enoic acid thioester of coenzyme A. 2-hydroxy-5-octenoyl-coa is an acyl-CoA with 8 fatty acid group as the acyl moiety attached to coenzyme A. Coenzyme A was discovered in 1946 by Fritz Lipmann (Journal of Biological Chemistry (1946) 162 (3): 743–744) and its structure was determined in the early 1950s at the Lister Institute in London. Coenzyme A is a complex, thiol-containing molecule that is naturally synthesized from pantothenate (vitamin B5), which is found in various foods such as meat, vegetables, cereal grains, legumes, eggs, and milk. More specifically, coenzyme A (CoASH or CoA) consists of a beta-mercaptoethylamine group linked to the vitamin pantothenic acid (B5) through an amide linkage and 3-phosphorylated ADP. Coenzyme A is synthesized in a five-step process that requires four molecules of ATP, pantothenate and cysteine. It is believed that there are more than 1100 types of acyl-CoA’s in the human body, which also corresponds to the number of acylcarnitines in the human body. Acyl-CoAs exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. The general role of acyl-CoA’s is to assist in transferring fatty acids from the cytoplasm to mitochondria. This process facilitates the production of fatty acids in cells, which are essential in cell membrane structure. Acyl-CoAs are also susceptible to beta oxidation, forming, ultimately, acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA can enter the citric acid cycle, eventually forming several equivalents of ATP. In this way, fats are converted to ATP -- or biochemical energy. Acyl-CoAs can be classified into 9 different categories depending on the size of their acyl-group: 1) short-chain acyl-CoAs; 2) medium-chain acyl-CoAs; 3) long-chain acyl-CoAs; and 4) very long-chain acyl-CoAs; 5) hydroxy acyl-CoAs; 6) branched chain acyl-CoAs; 7) unsaturated acyl-CoAs; 8) dicarboxylic acyl-CoAs and 9) miscellaneous acyl-CoAs. Short-chain acyl-CoAs have acyl-groups with two to four carbons (C2-C4), medium-chain acyl-CoAs have acyl-groups with five to eleven carbons (C5-C11), long-chain acyl-CoAs have acyl-groups with twelve to twenty carbons (C12-C20) while very long-chain acyl-CoAs have acyl groups with more than 20 carbons. 2-hydroxy-5-octenoyl-coa is therefore classified as a medium chain acyl-CoA. The oxidative degradation of fatty acids is a two-step process, catalyzed by acyl-CoA synthetase/synthase. Fatty acids are first converted to their acyl phosphate, the precursor to acyl-CoA. The latter conversion is mediated by acyl-CoA synthase. Three types of acyl-CoA synthases are employed, depending on the chain length of the fatty acid. 2-hydroxy-5-octenoyl-coa, being a medium chain acyl-CoA is a substrate for medium chain acyl-CoA synthase. The second step of fatty acid degradation is beta oxidation. Beta oxidation occurs in mitochondria and, in the case of very long chain acyl-CoAs, the peroxisome. After its formation in the cytosol, 2-Hydroxy-5-octenoyl-CoA is transported into the mitochondria, the locus of beta oxidation. Transport of 2-Hydroxy-5-octenoyl-CoA into the mitochondria requires carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1), which converts 2-Hydroxy-5-octenoyl-CoA into 2-Hydroxy-5-octenoylcarnitine, which gets transported into the mitochondrial matrix. Once in the matrix, 2-Hydroxy-5-octenoylcarnitine is converted back to 2-Hydroxy-5-octenoyl-CoA by CPT2, whereupon beta-oxidation can begin. Beta oxidation of 2-Hydroxy-5-octenoyl-CoA occurs in four steps. First, since 2-Hydroxy-5-octenoyl-CoA is a medium chain acyl-CoA it is the substrate for a medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, which catalyzes dehydrogenation of 2-Hydroxy-5-octenoyl-CoA, creating a double bond between the alpha and beta carbons. FAD is the hydrogen acceptor, yielding FADH2. Second, Enoyl-CoA hydrase catalyzes the addition of water across the newly formed double bond to make an alcohol. Third, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA de...

The second step of fatty acid degradation is beta oxidation. Beta oxidation occurs in mitochondria and, in the case of very long chain acyl-CoAs, the peroxisome. After its formation in the cytosol, 6-oxooctanoyl-CoA is transported into the mitochondria, the locus of beta oxidation. Transport of 6-oxooctanoyl-CoA into the mitochondria requires carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1), which converts 6-oxooctanoyl-CoA into 6-oxooctanoylcarnitine, which gets transported into the mitochondrial matrix. Once in the matrix, 6-oxooctanoylcarnitine is converted back to 6-oxooctanoyl-CoA by CPT2, whereupon beta-oxidation can begin. Beta oxidation of 6-oxooctanoyl-CoA occurs in four steps. First, since 6-oxooctanoyl-CoA is a medium chain acyl-CoA it is the substrate for a medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, which catalyzes dehydrogenation of 6-oxooctanoyl-CoA, creating a double bond between the alpha and beta carbons. FAD is the hydrogen acceptor, yielding FADH2. Second, Enoyl-CoA hydrase catalyzes the addition of water across the newly formed double bond to make an alcohol. Third, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase oxidizes the alcohol group to a ketone and NADH is produced from NAD+. Finally, Thiola...
4-oxooctanoyl-CoA
4-oxooctanoyl-coa is an acyl-CoA or acyl-coenzyme A. More specifically, it is a 4-oxooctanoic acid thioester of coenzyme A. 4-oxooctanoyl-coa is an acyl-CoA with 8 fatty acid group as the acyl moiety attached to coenzyme A. Coenzyme A was discovered in 1946 by Fritz Lipmann (Journal of Biological Chemistry (1946) 162 (3): 743–744) and its structure was determined in the early 1950s at the Lister Institute in London. Coenzyme A is a complex, thiol-containing molecule that is naturally synthesized from pantothenate (vitamin B5), which is found in various foods such as meat, vegetables, cereal grains, legumes, eggs, and milk. More specifically, coenzyme A (CoASH or CoA) consists of a beta-mercaptoethylamine group linked to the vitamin pantothenic acid (B5) through an amide linkage and 3-phosphorylated ADP. Coenzyme A is synthesized in a five-step process that requires four molecules of ATP, pantothenate and cysteine. It is believed that there are more than 1100 types of acyl-CoA’s in the human body, which also corresponds to the number of acylcarnitines in the human body. Acyl-CoAs exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. The general role of acyl-CoA’s is to assist in transferring fatty acids from the cytoplasm to mitochondria. This process facilitates the production of fatty acids in cells, which are essential in cell membrane structure. Acyl-CoAs are also susceptible to beta oxidation, forming, ultimately, acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA can enter the citric acid cycle, eventually forming several equivalents of ATP. In this way, fats are converted to ATP -- or biochemical energy. Acyl-CoAs can be classified into 9 different categories depending on the size of their acyl-group: 1) short-chain acyl-CoAs; 2) medium-chain acyl-CoAs; 3) long-chain acyl-CoAs; and 4) very long-chain acyl-CoAs; 5) hydroxy acyl-CoAs; 6) branched chain acyl-CoAs; 7) unsaturated acyl-CoAs; 8) dicarboxylic acyl-CoAs and 9) miscellaneous acyl-CoAs. Short-chain acyl-CoAs have acyl-groups with two to four carbons (C2-C4), medium-chain acyl-CoAs have acyl-groups with five to eleven carbons (C5-C11), long-chain acyl-CoAs have acyl-groups with twelve to twenty carbons (C12-C20) while very long-chain acyl-CoAs have acyl groups with more than 20 carbons. 4-oxooctanoyl-coa is therefore classified as a medium chain acyl-CoA. The oxidative degradation of fatty acids is a two-step process, catalyzed by acyl-CoA synthetase/synthase. Fatty acids are first converted to their acyl phosphate, the precursor to acyl-CoA. The latter conversion is mediated by acyl-CoA synthase. Three types of acyl-CoA synthases are employed, depending on the chain length of the fatty acid. 4-oxooctanoyl-coa, being a medium chain acyl-CoA is a substrate for medium chain acyl-CoA synthase. The second step of fatty acid degradation is beta oxidation. Beta oxidation occurs in mitochondria and, in the case of very long chain acyl-CoAs, the peroxisome. After its formation in the cytosol, 4-oxooctanoyl-CoA is transported into the mitochondria, the locus of beta oxidation. Transport of 4-oxooctanoyl-CoA into the mitochondria requires carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1), which converts 4-oxooctanoyl-CoA into 4-oxooctanoylcarnitine, which gets transported into the mitochondrial matrix. Once in the matrix, 4-oxooctanoylcarnitine is converted back to 4-oxooctanoyl-CoA by CPT2, whereupon beta-oxidation can begin. Beta oxidation of 4-oxooctanoyl-CoA occurs in four steps.
