Introduction of 124-07-2 :

Octanoic acid (Caprylic acid) is an oily liquid with a slightly unpleasant rancid taste and used commercially in the production of esters used in perfumery and also in the manufacture of dyes. Octanoic acid is also a tremor-suppressing agent[1][2]. In Vitro: Octanoic acid (0-0.5 mM, 0.5 h) potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in MIN6 cells, via Olfr15 though the PLC-IP3 pathway[4].
Octanoic acid (0-10 mM, 48 h) induces neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells, and activates p38 MAPK and ERK pathways[5].
In Vivo: Octanoic acid (1500 mg/kg, i.p.) inhibits harmaline tremor in mouse model of essential tremor[1].
Octanoic acid (150 mg/kg, oral gavage) shows protective effects in the mouse model of PD induced by MPTP (HY-15608)[2].
Octanoic acid (1.3 mg, p.o.) promotes branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolism in rats by activating BCKDC via decreasing the bound form of BCKDH kinase (BDK)[3].
