Applications Isobutylsuccinic Acid was used to synthesize succinimide derivatives as inhibitors of human leukocyte elastase, cathepsin G and proteinase 3. References Groutas, W., et al.: Bioorg. Med. Chem., 3, 375 (1995);

2-(2-Methylpropyl)butanedioic acid is an uncatalyzed chemical reaction that is used for the treatment of wastewater. It is a chiral compound, which means it has a non-superimposable mirror image. 2-(2-Methylpropyl)butanedioic acid can be synthesized by homochiral reactions, which are reactions that uses only one type of chiral molecule to produce a chiral product. The rate of this reaction is controlled by the concentration of reactants and the temperature at which it occurs. This reaction mechanism involves the formation of an enolate ion from 2-(2-methylpropyl) butanedioic acid, followed by deprotonation to form the conjugated enolate. Leukocyte elastase is an enzyme that breaks down elastin in cells, and this enzyme may be inhibited by gabapentin.
