Product Description
NSC 8751 is an endogenously produced metabolite.
NSC 8751 ((E)-2-Butenoic acid; (E)-Crotonic acid; trans-2-Butenoic acid; trans-Crotonic acid) (CAS 107-93-7) is an endogenous metabolite and an unsaturated carboxylic acid compound containing an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid group. It is a but-2-enoic acid with a trans-double bond at C-2 and has been isolated from Daucus carota. NSC 8751 is one of the important analogs for evaluating the safety of fragrance ingredients and is used to evaluate the toxicological properties of compounds with similar structures. It appears as a white crystalline solid, is soluble in water, and is less dense than water. Trans-Crotonic acid can be used in the preparation of cosmetics and food additives.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
As an endogenous metabolite, NSC 8751 does not have a specific therapeutic target in the traditional sense. However, it is known to be converted to beta-hydroxybutyryl-CoA by the enzyme known as crotonase (enoyl CoA hydratase) present in the liver and other tissues. It has been demonstrated to inhibit the formation of infectious diseases by binding to the agonist binding site on the surface of bacteria. It is also used as a reference compound for evaluating the skin sensitization and toxicological safety of structurally similar unsaturated carboxylic acid fragrances.
ln Vitro
NSC 8751 is primarily used in vitro to evaluate the skin sensitization and toxicological safety of structurally similar unsaturated carboxylic acid fragrances (such as 2-methyl-trans-2-butenoic acid). For example, the human repeated patch test (HRIPT) and local lymph node assay can be used to confirm the safety of similar substances in cosmetics. The toxicological data of NSC 8751 can be used to deduce the safety of similar compounds through cross-species and structural analogies. It has been shown that when NSC 8751 is applied to local lymph nodes, a 50% concentration does not cause skin sensitization, and its structural analogs have been shown to be non-genotoxic.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for NSC 8751 as a standalone therapeutic compound are not extensively reported, as it is primarily utilized as a reference standard for toxicological evaluation rather than as a therapeutic agent. The compound is used in animal models to assess the safety and toxicological properties of structurally similar fragrance ingredients. Its in vivo effects are primarily related to its metabolism via the enzyme crotonase to beta-hydroxybutyryl-CoA. The compound's safety profile in vivo is established through standard toxicological assessments such as the local lymph node assay.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for NSC 8751 typically involve studying its interaction with crotonase (enoyl CoA hydratase), the enzyme responsible for its conversion to beta-hydroxybutyryl-CoA. Enzyme activity assays can be performed to measure the rate of conversion of crotonic acid to beta-hydroxybutyryl-CoA. Additionally, binding studies may be conducted to assess the interaction of crotonic acid with bacterial surface proteins, as it has been shown to inhibit the formation of infectious diseases by binding to the agonist binding site on the surface of bacteria.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for NSC 8751 typically involve the use of cell lines to evaluate its cytotoxic or sensitizing potential. The human repeated patch test (HRIPT) is a standard assay used to confirm the safety of similar substances in cosmetics. Additionally, cell-based assays may be used to evaluate the compound's effects on bacterial growth, given its demonstrated ability to inhibit the formation of infectious diseases. The compound is also used as a reference standard in metabolic studies to assess the activity of crotonase in various cell types.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for NSC 8751 typically involve the use of animal models to assess its toxicological and sensitizing potential. The local lymph node assay (LLNA) is a standard in vivo assay used to evaluate the skin sensitization potential of chemicals. In this assay, the compound is applied to the ears of mice, and the proliferation of lymphocytes in the draining lymph nodes is measured. The compound has been shown to not cause skin sensitization at a 50% concentration in this assay. These studies are critical for the safety assessment of fragrance ingredients.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism/Metabolites...It is known that crotonic acid is converted to β-hydroxybutyryl-CoA by crotonic acid hydrate, which is present in the liver and other tissues.

Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of NSC 8751 has been evaluated as part of its use in safety assessment of fragrance ingredients. When applied to local lymph nodes, a 50% concentration does not cause skin sensitization. Structural analogs of NSC 8751 have been shown to be non-genotoxic. The compound is corrosive to metals and tissue. It is considered an endogenous metabolite and is used as a reference compound for evaluating the safety of structurally similar unsaturated carboxylic acid fragrances.
Additional Infomation
Crotonic acid is a white crystalline solid, transported in solid or liquid form. It is soluble in water but less dense. It is corrosive to metals and tissues.
