δ-Valerolactone is a water-soluble sodium salt that exhibits a low melting point and high vapor pressure. It has been used as a sample preparation agent in NMR spectroscopy and as an ingredient in the formulation of cosmetics. Notably, this compound may act to have antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli K-12. While δ-Valerolactone does not significantly impact the activity of enzymes such as acetylcholinesterase, butylcholinesterase, or aminopyrine N-demethylase, it serves as a valuable component in the synthesis of copolyesters via lipase-catalyzed ring opening polymerization.
