4-Oxo-1,2-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid, also known as 4-oxocyclopentane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, is an organic compound characterized by its cyclic structure featuring a five-membered ring with two carboxylic acid groups and a ketone functional group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the presence of the carboxylic acid groups. It exhibits acidic properties due to these groups, which can donate protons in solution. The compound is of interest in various chemical syntheses and may serve as an intermediate in the production of more complex organic molecules. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the ketone and carboxylic acid functionalities, allowing for potential applications in organic synthesis and materials science. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.

4-Oxocyclopentane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid

4-oxocyclopentane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid is a macrocyclic compound that acts as an inhibitor of proteases. It inhibits the reaction of a peptide bond with a carboxyl group at the C-terminal end of the substrate. A macrocyclic compound can also inhibit protein synthesis by inhibiting the attachment of amino acids to ribosomes. This enzyme inhibition prevents the formation of polypeptides and proteins. 4-oxocyclopentane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid has been shown to selectively inhibit brucine protease and other proteases in vitro.
