General description

trans-Aconitic acid is inhibitor of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and was identified in range grasses.

trans-Aconitic acid is an antioxidant used in food and cosmetics preparation and also used as a plasticizer in the polymer industry.

Application

trans-Aconitic acid was used in synthesis of aconitate esters. It may be used for cross-linking polyvinyl alcohol film for preparing composite nanofiltration membranes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Antimicrobial agent that blocks the transformation of Leishmania donovani amastigotes to prostigotes.

trans-Aconitate ion, an inhibitor of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, was identified in range grasses as trans-aconitic acid, which was isolated in crystalline form. It occurs in surprisingly high concentrations in early-season forage grasses. Dry-weight concentrations of trans-aconitate vary with season
