Adipic acid (Hexanedioic acid)

Create a chemical structuremolecular model of adipic acid (Hexanedioic acid) out of Genuine Molymod Model Parts by indigoinstruments.com

Adipic acid is metabolically related to fatty acids & plays a role in some bacteria can use it as a carbon source. While structurally similar to other dicarboxylic acids such succinic acid & fumaric, adipic acid is not directly involved in human metabolism. When used in weakly basic and weakly acidic formulated drugs it allows for pH-dependent controlled release. As a polymeric coating of hydrophilic monolithic systems it can modulate intragel pH. Intestinal pH can improve the disintegration of enteric polymer shellacs where adipic acid was used as a pore-forming agent.
