Metabolite Identification
Common NameAcetic acid
DescriptionAcetic acid, also known as glacial acetate or vinegar, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acids are compounds containing a carboxylic acid group with the formula -C(=O)OH. Acetic acid is a drug which is used to treat infections in the ear canal. Acetic acid exists as a liquid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Acetic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Acetic acid has been found to be associated with several diseases known as colorectal cancer, gout, and perillyl alcohol administration for cancer treatment; also acetic acid has been linked to several inborn metabolic disorders including celiac disease and phenylketonuria.
