Metabolite Identification
Common NameThreonolactone
DescriptionThreonolactone belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gamma butyrolactones. Gamma butyrolactones are compounds containing a gamma butyrolactone moiety, which consists of an aliphatic five-member ring with four carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and bears a ketone group on the carbon adjacent to the oxygen atom. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Threonolactone.
