Common types of keto acids include:

  • Alpha-keto acids, or 2-oxo acids, such as pyruvic acid have the keto group adjacent to the carboxylic acid
  • Beta-keto acids, or 3-oxo acids, such as acetoacetic acid have the ketone group at the second carbon from the carboxylic acid
  • Gamma-keto acids, or 4-oxo acids, such as levulinic acid have the ketone group at the third carbon from the carboxylic acid

hydroxy fatty acids, thia fatty acids, fatty acid amides, methoxy fatty acids, keto fatty acids, oxo fatty acids
This fatty acid is the methoxylated analog of the bacterial 2-hydroxy-13-methyltetradecanoic acid and was shown to be highly cytotoxic to human cancerous cells (Carballeira NM et al., Chem Phys Lipids 2003, 126, 149).
Keto fatty acids are rare but one is well known, 9t-keto-2-decenoic acid, which is an active constituent of the royal jelly (milky substance produced by the worker honey bee).
