Microbial Metabolite Human Endogenous Metabolite
Microbial aromatic degradation pathways (the beta-ketoadipate pathway). Cis,cis-muconic acid is a key intermediate in the ortho-cleavage pathway of catechol, catalyzed by catechol 1,2-dioxygenase. It is also a substrate for muconate cycloisomerase. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
The compound itself has no pharmacological activity in mammalian cells. In bacterial assays, it serves as a carbon source and induces the expression of genes involved in aromatic compound degradation. It is not cytotoxic at low millimolar concentrations.
|
| ln Vivo |
No in vivo activity in animals is reported. In humans, cis,cis-muconic acid is a urinary biomarker of benzene exposure; its excretion reflects the degree of exposure. It is not used as a therapeutic agent.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
A non-cell assay for catechol 1,2-dioxygenase is performed. Cell lysates or purified enzyme are incubated with catechol (0.1-1 mM) in Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) at 25degC. The formation of cis,cis-muconic acid is monitored by UV absorbance at 260 nm (ε = 16,800 M-¹cm-¹).
|
| Cell Assay |
For cell studies, cis,cis-muconic acid is added to culture medium of bacterial strains (e.g., Pseudomonas putida) engineered for aromatic compound degradation at 1-10 mM. It serves as a carbon source, and bacterial growth is monitored by OD600. It can also be used as an internal standard in metabolomics.
|
| Animal Protocol |
No animal studies are performed with this compound as a pharmacological agent. In toxicology studies, rodents are exposed to benzene by inhalation or gavage, and urinary cis,cis-muconic acid is measured by LC-MS or GC-MS as a biomarker of benzene exposure.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
The compound is a small polar dicarboxylic acid (MW 142.11) with good water solubility. In humans, it is renally cleared after conjugation with glycine. Its plasma half-life is short (1-2 hours). It is stable in urine at -20degC for weeks.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Cis,cis-muconic acid has low toxicity; it is a normal microbial metabolite. The oral LD50 in rats is >2000 mg/kg. No significant genotoxicity or carcinogenicity is reported. It is considered safe as a chemical intermediate and analytical standard.

| Additional Infomation |
cis-cis-mucoconic acid is the cis-cis isomer of mucoconic acid. It is produced by the degradation of chlorobenzene by bacteria such as Bacillus and is a bacterial xenobiotic metabolite. It is the conjugate acid of (2Z,4Z)-5-carboxypent-2,4-dienoic acid. Cis-cis-mucoconic acid has been reported in both Rhodococcus and Plascotides simplex, and relevant data are available. See also: cis-cis-mucoconic acid (note moved to).
Cis,cis-muconic acid is used as a platform chemical for the production of adipic acid (a precursor to nylon-6,6) via hydrogenation. It is also a standard in HPLC analysis and a biomarker for benzene exposure in human biomonitoring. It is a key intermediate in microbial degradation of aromatic pollutants.

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (14.64 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (14.64 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More

*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.
