Product Description
Trans-2-butene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid is an endogenously produced metabolite.
Trans-2-butene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (trans-3-Hexenedioic acid) is an endogenous metabolite that is naturally produced in humans. It is a normal human unsaturated dicarboxylic acid metabolite with increased excretion reported in patients with certain metabolic disorders. This compound serves as a versatile building block in the production of polymers and resins due to its unsaturated nature, which allows it to introduce desired properties into polyamides and polyesters. It is also being studied for its biological activity, including growth inhibition in various tumor cell lines.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Not well-defined; potential interactions with cellular metabolic pathways. As an endogenous unsaturated dicarboxylic acid, it may be involved in fatty acid metabolism or serve as a substrate for enzymes like acyl-CoA dehydrogenases. However, its primary use in research is as a chemical intermediate. Some evidence suggests it may have activity against human tumor cell lines, but specific molecular targets (e.g., enzymes, receptors) have not been identified.
ln Vitro
Trans-2-butene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid shows growth inhibition activity on various human tumor cell lines. It has been tested against a panel including renal, breast, lung, leukemia, melanoma, ovarian, prostate, central nervous system, and colon cell lines. This suggests broad-spectrum cytotoxic potential in vitro, though the mechanism remains unknown. It may act by interfering with cellular metabolism or inducing oxidative stress.
ln Vivo
In vivo, this compound is a normal human metabolite, indicating it is biocompatible at endogenous levels. Its excretion is increased in patients with certain metabolic disorders, suggesting it could serve as a biomarker for those conditions. Therapeutic studies in animal models are not widely reported; however, its endogenous presence implies it may have roles in metabolic regulation or signaling that are not yet fully understood.
Enzyme Assay
For chemical characterization, the compound can be analyzed by LC-MS or GC-MS. A typical protocol for quantification involves extracting the compound from biological fluids (e.g., urine) using solid-phase extraction (SPE), followed by derivatization (e.g., with BSTFA for GC-MS) and detection. Calibration curves are prepared using the pure standard. This method is often used in metabolomics studies to identify and quantify this metabolite in disease states.
Cell Assay
To evaluate cytotoxic effects, human tumor cell lines (e.g., HeLa, MCF-7, A549) are seeded in 96-well plates (5,000-10,000 cells/well). After 24 hours, cells are treated with serial dilutions of Trans-2-butene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (0.1-1000 uM) for 48-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CCK-8 assays. IC₅0 values are calculated from dose-response curves. Include vehicle controls (e.g., DMSO) and positive controls (e.g., doxorubicin).
Animal Protocol
Animal models for toxicity or pharmacokinetics are not standardized. For exploratory studies, the compound can be administered orally or intravenously to rodents (e.g., 10-100 mg/kg). Collect blood, urine, and tissues at multiple time points. Analyze samples by LC-MS to determine concentration and metabolic fate. Monitor animals for signs of general toxicity (weight loss, behavioral changes). Histological examination of organs may be performed.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Trans-2-butene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid has a molecular formula C₆H₈O4 and a molecular weight of 144.13 g/mol. It is soluble in DMSO (250 mg/mL) and slightly soluble in water. Appearance: White to off-white solid. Melting point: 184-188 degC. Storage: Keep container tightly closed and store at -20degC in a dry and well-ventilated place. Protect from light and moisture. Stable under standard laboratory conditions.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
As an endogenous metabolite, toxicity is expected to be low at physiological concentrations. However, at high doses, it may cause metabolic disturbances. Standard safety precautions for laboratory chemicals should be followed. May cause skin and eye irritation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, lab coat, safety glasses). Use in a well-ventilated area. Wash hands after handling. Consult SDS for additional information. Not for therapeutic use in humans.
Additional Infomation
3-Hexenedioic acid is a type of hexenedioic acid in which the C=C double bond is located at the 3 position.
Trans-2-butene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid is also known as 3-hexenedioic acid or dihydromuconic acid. It is a valuable chemical intermediate for the synthesis of polymers, resins, and pharmaceuticals. In metabolomics, it is recognized as a potential biomarker for metabolic syndrome or inborn errors of metabolism (e.g., 3-hydroxyisobutyric aciduria). Its unsaturated structure allows for further chemical modifications such as hydrogenation to adipic acid. It is a research chemical not approved for clinical use.
