| Targets |
- N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor (interacts as a weak agonist and enhances quinolinic acid-induced activation) [1]
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
- NMDA Receptor Activation: 3-Hydroxyglutaric acid (1–100 μM) dose-dependently increased NMDA receptor-mediated currents in synaptic plasma membranes from rat cerebral cortex, with maximal activation at 100 μM. Co-application with quinolinic acid (10 μM) resulted in synergistic current enhancement, indicating cooperative binding to the receptor [1]
- Receptor Specificity: The effect was blocked by the NMDA receptor antagonist AP5 (50 μM), confirming specificity for NMDA receptors over AMPA/kainate receptors [1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
- Synaptic Membrane Preparation: Synaptic plasma membranes were isolated from cerebral cortices of young rats via differential centrifugation and Percoll gradient purification. Membrane protein concentration was determined using a bicinchoninic acid assay [1]
- Electrophysiological Recording: Membrane vesicles were incorporated into planar lipid bilayers, and NMDA receptor-mediated currents were recorded using the patch-clamp technique. Currents were evoked by sequential application of 3-hydroxyglutaric acid (1–100 μM) and quinolinic acid (10 μM) in the presence of glycine (1 μM) to mimic physiological conditions [1] |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Carcinogen Classification
No evidence of carcinogenicity in humans has been found (not listed by the International Agency for Research on Cancer). Health Effects Long-term high levels of 3-hydroxyglutaric acid are associated with type I glutaric aciduria. |

| Additional Infomation |
3-Hydroxyglutaric acid (3-Hydroxyglutaric acid) is a 3-hydroxycarboxylic acid, meaning glutaric acid is substituted with a hydroxyl group at the 3-position. It is a diagnostic marker for type I glutarateuria. It is present in human urine and serum and is a 3-hydroxycarboxylic acid and an α,ω-dicarboxylic acid. Functionally, it is associated with glutaric acid and is the conjugate acid of 3-hydroxyglutaric acid (2-). 3-Hydroxyglutaric acid is a key metabolite of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency and is considered a potential neurotoxin. Elevated levels of 3-hydroxyglutaric acid in the urine of patients with type I glutarateuria (glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency) are observed. Pathophysiological significance: 3-Hydroxyglutaric acid is a key metabolite of type I glutarateuria, a hereditary disorder characterized by elevated levels of this compound in the brain. Its interaction with NMDA receptors may lead to the excitotoxic neuronal damage observed in this disease [1]
- Mechanism analysis: The weak agonist activity of this compound and its synergistic effect with quinolinic acid suggest that it may act as a co-agonist or allosteric modulator of NMDA receptors, enhancing glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity under pathological conditions [1] |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
