2-hydroxy-3-methylpentanoic acid is a derivative of L-isoleucine metabolism. It is a racemic mixture. 2-hydroxy-3-methylpentanoic acid plays a role in the regulation of fatty acid oxidation. Its main mechanism of action involves the inhibition of two key enzymes: carnitine palmitoyltransferase I, responsible for the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria for oxidation, and acyl-CoA oxidase, involved in the oxidation process of fatty acids. By inhibiting these enzymes, 2-hydroxy-3-methylpentanoic acid modulates fatty acid metabolism.
