Metabolite Identification
Common NameThreonic acid
DescriptionThreonic acid, also known as threonate or clarimem, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar acids and derivatives. Sugar acids and derivatives are compounds containing a saccharide unit which bears a carboxylic acid group. Threonic acid is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa).
