DL-3-Hydroxydodecanoic acid (3HDD) is a racemic mixture of D- and L-3HDD. 3-hydroxydodecanoic acid is found as a monomer in the construction of polyhydroxyalkanoates. 3HDD is used to study the roles of β-hydroxy fatty acids in chronic inflammation and insulin resistance and the biosynthesis of diffusible signal factors involved in quorum sensing.
The Gram-negative bacterium Acinetobacter species ODB-L2 produces lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in culture broth. The LPS could not be purified by conventional extraction methods using 90% phenol/water or 90% phenol/chloroform/petroleum ether mixed solvent. Extraction was achieved employing an admixture of chloroform, ethanol

Current diagnostic tests to detect disorders of fatty acids metabolism, such as long-chain hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (LCHAD), are hampered by insensitivity or a long delay time required for results. Children with LCHAD deficiency are known to excrete 3-hydroxydicarboxylic acids
We investigated the in vitro effects of 3-hydroxydodecanoic (3HDA), 3-hydroxytetradecanoic (3HTA) and 3-hydroxypalmitic (3HPA) acids, which accumulate in tissues of patients affected by mitochondrial trifunctional protein (MTP) and isolated long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCHAD) deficiencies, on various parameters of energy homeostasis
The diagnosis of long-chain L-3-hydroxy-acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (LCHAD) deficiency frequently requires the study of cultured fibroblasts. We developed such a test that does not require disruption and loss of the cells. We measured free 3-hydroxy fatty acids (3-OHFAs) in media
Signal molecules of the diffusible signal factor (DSF) family have been shown recently to be involved in regulation of pathogenesis and biofilm formation in diverse Gram-negative bacteria. DSF signals are reported to be active not only on their cognate bacteria
