3-Nitrooxypropanol, abbreviated 3NOP, is an organic compound with the formula HOCH2CH2CH2ONO2. It is the mononitrate ester of 1,3-propanediol. The compound is an inhibitor of the enzyme methyl coenzyme M reductase (MCR). MCR catalyzes the final step in methanogenesis.[1] When it is fed to ruminants, their methane production is diminished.[2] In 2021 Bovaer, a feed additive for cows produced by DSM based on this compound, has been approved in Brazil, one of the world's largest meat exporters and also Chile.[3] In 2022, it was approved for use on dairy cows in the EU.[4][5]
