Description

Tropic acid (Tropate) is a chiral substance, existing as either a racemic mixture or as a single enantiomer. Tropate is classified as a beta hydroxy acid or a Beta hydroxy acid derivative. Beta hydroxy acids are compounds containing a carboxylic acid substituted with a hydroxyl group on the C3 carbon atom. Tropate is considered to be soluble (in water) and acidic. Tropate can be synthesized from hydratropic acid and propionic acid. Tropate can be synthesized into tropan-3alpha-yl 3-hydroxy-2-phenylpropanoate. Tropic acid is proposed be used topicaly for the treatment of wrinkles.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Curator's Comment: May be used topicaly for the treatment of wrinkles: Tropic acid 10 grams is dissolved in 20 ml of ethanol, and the solution thus obtained is mixed with 70 grams of hydrophilic ointment USP. The mixing is continued until a uniform consistency is obtained. The composition thus formulated contains 10% tropic acid as an active ingredient, and has pH 3.7 http://www.google.la/patents/US5561159
ORAL RAT LD50 >5000 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Incubation of 3 umol of dl-tropic acid and 3 umol of NAD1 with 0.5 mg of crude extract protein in glycine-NaOH buffer, pH 9.5, at 30 degrees C for 20 min, followed by diethyl ether extraction and GC-MS analysis, revealed phenylacetic acid to be the major product.
