Metabolite Identification
Common NameDL-2-Aminooctanoic acid
DescriptionDL-2-Aminooctanoic acid, also known as a-aminocaprylate or alpha-aminocaprylic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha amino acids. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). DL-2-Aminooctanoic acid exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule.
