Hydroxycitric acid tripotassium salt monohydrate (CAS 232281-44-6)
QUICK LINKS
Hydroxycitric acid tripotassium salt monohydrate functions as an inhibitor of the enzyme ATP citrate lyase, which plays a key role in fatty acid biosynthesis. By blocking this enzyme, it reduces the conversion of citrate to acetyl-CoA, a step in the synthesis of fatty acids. This inhibition ultimately leads to a decrease in the production of fatty acids and cholesterol. At the molecular level, the compound binds to the active site of ATP citrate lyase, preventing its normal function and disrupting the metabolic pathway. This disruption can be utilized in experimental applications to study the regulation of lipid metabolismrelated to obesity and metabolic disorders. Hydroxycitric acid tripotassium salt monohydrate may also have implications in the study of cellular energy metabolism and the regulation of glucose homeostasis.
