High impact information on Aleprolic acid

The conversion of cyclopentenylglycine to aleprolic acid may occur via transamination and oxidative decarboxylation; activated aleprolic acid is then lengthened by C2-units to cyclopentenyl fatty acids [1].
Biosynthesis of cyclopentenyl fatty acids. (2-Cyclopentenyl)carboxylic acid (aleprolic acid) as a special primer for fatty acid biosynthesis in Flacourtiaceae [2].
