General description

2,2-Dimethylvaleric acid is a branched-chain-fatty acid. It is a structural analog of di-n-propylacetate (DPA).

Application

2,2-Dimethylvaleric acid may be employed as internal standard for the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometric determination of 2,2-dimethylbutyrate (DMB) in rat plasma.

Pharmaceuticals are emerging contaminants as their worldwide consumption increases. Fibrates such as gemfibrozil (GEM) are used in human medicine to reduce blood concentrations of cholesterol and triacylglycerol and also are some of the most frequently reported pharmaceuticals in waste waters

In order to better explain, predict, or extrapolate to humans the developmental toxicity effects of chemicals to zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos, we developed a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model designed to predict organ concentrations of neutral or ionizable chemicals, up to

An increase in GABA-ergic activity has been implicated in the initiation of quasi-morphine abstinence behavior by di-n-propylacetate (DPA). Two structural analogues of DPA, namely, the branched-chain-fatty acid 2-methyl, 2-ethylcaproic acid and 2,2-dimethylvaleric acid have now been used to study this

The oxidation of 4-aminobutyric acid (GABA) by nonsynaptosomal mitochondria isolated from rat forebrain and the inhibition of this metabolism by the branched-chain fatty acids 2-methyl-2-ethyl caproate (MEC) and 2.2-dimethyl valerate (DMV) were studied. The rate of GABA oxidation, as measured

2,2-Dimethylbutyrate (DMB) is a potential treatment for thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies. To facilitate pharmacokinetic evaluation of DMB, we developed an LC-MS assay and quantitated DMB in plasma of rats after an oral dose of 500mg/kg. After acetonitrile protein precipitation, DMB and
