| Targets |
trans-2-Heptenal does not have a specific biological target as it is primarily used as a flavoring agent and chemical intermediate. However, as an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde, it may react with nucleophilic groups in proteins, such as thiols and amines, through Michael addition. This reactivity could lead to modification of cellular proteins and potential biological effects. The compound's natural occurrence in insects suggests a role in chemical communication, but its pharmacological targets are not well-defined.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Metabolism / Metabolites
Uremic toxins often accumulate in the blood due to overeating or poor kidney filtration. Most uremic toxins are metabolic waste products that are normally excreted through urine or feces. Pharmacokinetic properties of trans-2-Heptenal are not extensively characterized. The compound has a molecular weight of 112.17 g/mol, a boiling point of 90-91°C at 50 mmHg, and a density of 0.857 g/mL at 25°C. It is slightly soluble in water and miscible with organic solvents. As a volatile aldehyde, it is likely rapidly metabolized and excreted. No detailed pharmacokinetic data are available. |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicity Summary
Uremic toxins, such as 2-heptenal, can be actively transported to the kidneys via organic ion transporters, particularly OAT3. Elevated uremic toxin levels can stimulate the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This appears to be mediated by the direct binding of uremic toxins to or inhibition of NADPH oxidases, particularly NOX4, which is abundant in the kidneys and heart (A7868). ROS can induce a variety of different DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) involved in the silencing of the KLOTHO protein. KLOTHO has been shown to play an important role in anti-aging, mineral metabolism, and vitamin D metabolism. Multiple studies have shown that in acute or chronic kidney disease, KLOTHO mRNA and protein levels are decreased due to elevated local ROS levels (A7869). Toxicological data for trans-2-Heptenal indicate that it is a flammable liquid and a skin sensitizer. It may cause acute toxicity if inhaled or ingested. The compound is classified as a skin sensitizer (Skin Sens. 1) and has acute toxicity (Acute Tox. 4). It should be handled with appropriate safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment. No carcinogenic or reproductive toxicity data are available. |
| Additional Infomation |
(E)-Heptenoal is a monounsaturated fatty aldehyde, namely (2E)-heptenoal, with a carbonyl group at the 1 position. It is found in the peel of Malaysian pink and white pomelos, and in the scent gland secretions of the rice stink bug (Oebalus pugnax). It is both a plant metabolite and a uremic toxin. It is an enal, a monounsaturated fatty aldehyde, and also a medium-chain fatty aldehyde. It has been reported to be present in corn (Zea mays), oats (Avena sativa), and several other organisms with relevant data. 2-Heptenoal is a uremic toxin. Based on chemical and physical properties, uremic toxins can be classified into three main categories: 1) small, water-soluble, non-protein-bound compounds, such as urea; 2) small, lipid-soluble and/or protein-bound compounds, such as phenolic compounds; and 3) larger, so-called medium-molecular-weight compounds, such as β2-microglobulins. Long-term exposure to uremic toxins can lead to various diseases, including kidney damage, chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease. 2-Heptenal is found in legumes. It can be isolated from soybean oil (Glycine max). 2-Heptenal is a flavoring ingredient in many foods. Heptenal is a metabolite found in or produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
trans-2-Heptenal is an unsaturated aldehyde used as a flavoring agent and in organic synthesis. Its CAS number is 18829-55-5. The compound is available with a purity of ≥95% from various suppliers. It is naturally found in the scent-gland secretion of the rice stink bug and as an odor-active compound in guava. The compound is not approved for therapeutic use but is used in the food and fragrance industries. It should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. |
