3-Hydroxypentanoic acid is the organic compound with the formula CH
3CH
2CH(OH)CH
2CO
2H. It is one of the hydroxypentanoic acids.[1] It is made from odd carbon fatty acids in the liver and rapidly enters the brain. As opposed to 4-carbon ketone bodies, 3-hydroxypentanoic acid is anaplerotic, meaning it can refill the pool of TCA cycle intermediates. The triglyceride triheptanoin is used clinically to produce beta-hydroxypentanoate.[2]
