Common Namedipropyl succinate
DescriptionDipropyl succinate is a diester belonging to the chemical class of succinates. Its chemical structure comprises a succinic acid backbone with two propyl groups esterified to the carboxylic acid moieties, resulting in a molecular formula of C10H18O4. This compound is involved in various metabolic pathways, particularly in studies utilizing hyperpolarized 13C magnetic resonance spectroscopy, where it serves as a probe to investigate metabolic processes in real time. Specifically, dipropyl succinate can be labeled with stable isotopes, such as carbon-13, to trace its metabolism and transformation in biological systems. For instance, researchers have developed 13C-labeled derivatives, including [1,4-13C2]-dipropyl succinate, to enhance the sensitivity and resolution of metabolic imaging studies (PMID:39896865 ). This application highlights its role in elucidating metabolic pathways and understanding the dynamics of cellular metabolism in health and disease contexts.
