2-Hydroxyethanesulfonate
2-Hydroxyethanesulfonate (also known as 2-Hydroxyethanesulfonic acid or isethionic acid) is an organosulfur compound containing a short chain alkane sulfonate linked to a hydroxyl group. It is a water-soluble liquid used in the manufacture of mild, biodegradable, and high-foaming anionic surfactants. These surfactants provide gentle cleansing and a soft skin feel. 2-Hydroxyethanesulfonate forms a colourless, syrupy, and strongly acidic liquid that can form detergents with oleic acid. 2-Hydroxyethanesulfonate is frequently used in the industrial production of taurine. Mammals are also able to endogenously synthesize 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate via taurine through a possible enzymatic deamination process (PMID: 14490797). 2-Hydroxyethanesulfonate can be found in both human plasma and urine (PMID: 1159536, PMID: 6066118). Higher plasma levels of 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate have been shown to be protective against type 2 diabetes. Isethionic acid is an alkanesulfonic acid in which the sulfo group is directly linked to a 2-hydroxyethyl group. It has a role as a human metabolite. It is a conjugate acid of an isethionate. Isethionic acid is a metabolite found in or produced by Escherichia coli (strain K12, MG1655). 2-Hydroxyethanesulfonic acid is a natural product found in Gayliella flaccida, Tichocarpus crinitus, and Trypanosoma brucei with data available. A colorless, syrupy, strongly acidic liquid that can form detergents with oleic acid. Isethionic acid C2H6O4S is a short chain alkane sulfonate containing hydroxy group, is a water soluble liquid used in the manufacture of mild, biodegradable and high foaming anionic surfactants which provides gentle cleansing and soft skin feel. An alkanesulfonic acid in which the sulfo group is directly linked to a 2-hydroxyethyl group. KEIO_ID I041
