Succinylacetone (CAS 51568-18-4)
QUICK LINKS
Succinylacetone is an organic compound widely employed in scientific research as an inhibitor of the enzyme 5-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD), which is pivotal in the biosynthesis of heme, the iron-containing compound found in hemoglobin. Researchers use Succinylacetone to study the metabolic pathways involved in heme production and to understand the biochemical basis of certain metabolic disorders. It is also used as a standard in analytical techniques like chromatography for the quantification of its concentration in biological samples. In biochemistry, it serves as a tool to probe the effects of disrupted heme synthesis on cellular processes. Furthermore, Succinylacetone′s role in research extends to agricultural science, where it is involved in studies on plant growth and development, particularly in relation to chlorophyll production and the synthesis of other heme-containing enzymes essential for plant metabolism.
