Fumarranol
Fumarranol[edit | edit source]
Fumarranol is a chemical compound that is structurally related to fumaric acid. It is a derivative of fumarate, which is an important intermediate in the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle or TCA cycle). Fumarranol has been studied for its potential biological activities and its role in various biochemical pathways.
Chemical Structure[edit | edit source]
Fumarranol is characterized by its unique chemical structure, which includes a core similar to that of fumaric acid but with additional functional groups that modify its properties.
