4-Methyloctanoic acid

Overview

4-Methyloctanoic acid is an endogenous branched-chain medium-chain fatty acid and a negative regulator of the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway. 4-Methyloctanoic acid exerts antiepileptic effects by inhibiting epileptiform discharges and terminating behavioral and electroencephalographic seizures. 4-Methyloctanoic acid has neuroprotective effects; its polar metabolites can cross the blood-brain barrier, repair presynaptic release defects, improve motor function and alleviate neuromuscular degeneration in ALS models. 4-Methyloctanoic acid regulates phosphatidylinositol metabolism, reduces PIP/PIP 2 levels and increases inositol levels. 4-Methyloctanoic acid can be used in studies related to epilepsy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
