Butanedioic Acid (/səkˈsɪnɪk/) is a dicarboxylic acid with the chemical formula (CH2)2(CO2H)2.
The name of Succinic Acid derives from Latin succinum, meaning amber. 
In living organisms, Butanedioic Acid takes the form of an anion, succinate, which has multiple biological roles as a metabolic intermediate being converted into fumarate by the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase in complex 2 of the electron transport chain which is involved in making ATP, and as a signaling molecule reflecting the cellular metabolic state.
Butanedioic Acid is marketed as food additive E363. 

Butanedioic Acid, also called Succinic Acid , a dicarboxylic acid of molecular formula C4H6O4 that is widely distributed in almost all plant and animal tissues and that plays a significant role in intermediary metabolism. 
Butanedioic Acid is a colourless crystalline solid, soluble in water, with a melting point of 185–187° C (365–369° F).

Butanedioic Acid was first obtained as a distillation product of amber (Latin: succinum), for which it is named. 
The common method of synthesis of Butanedioic Acid is the catalytic hydrogenation of maleic acid or its anhydride, although other methods are being used and investigated. 
Butanedioic Acid has uses in certain drug compounds, in agricultural and food production, and in manufacturing.

Butanedioic Acid is generated in mitochondria via the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA). 
Butanedioic Acid can exit the mitochondrial matrix and function in the cytoplasm as well as the extracellular space, changing gene expression patterns, modulating epigenetic landscape or demonstrating hormone-like signaling.
As such, Butanedioic Acid links cellular metabolism, especially ATP formation, to the regulation of cellular function. 
Dysregulation of Butanedioic Acid synthesis, and therefore ATP synthesis, happens in some genetic mitochondrial diseases, such as Leigh syndrome, and Melas syndrome, and degradation can lead to pathological conditions, such as malignant transformation, inflammation and tissue injury.

General description of Butanedioic Acid:
Butanedioic Acid, an organic acid is an important building block that has a wide range of synthetic applications. 
Presently Butanedioic Acid is synthesized from petrochemical compounds. 
Due to Butanedioic Acids increasing demand many bio-based methods have been proposed for its synthesis as an efficient alternative. 
Butanedioic Acids utility as a low shrinkage additive (LSA) in unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) has been investigated.

Applications of Butanedioic Acid:
Butanedioic Acid may be used in the following processes:
-As a leaching agent in extracting lithium (Li), cobalt from used Li-ion batteries and magnesium from magnesite ore.
-Synthesis of new elastic polyesters.
-As a cocrystallising agent in the synthesis of cocrystals with organic molecules.

Butanedioic Acid is a naturally occurring four-carbon dicarboxylic acid with the molecular formula C4H6O4 that is produced by liquefied petroleum gas. 
However, petroleum gas is expensive and thus Butanedioic Acid is generated by different microbes. 
Butanedioic Acid is naturally formed by most living cells as an outcome of anaerobic digestion. 
Butanedioic Acid is a common organic acid, which can be used in many food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries as a precursor to generate many chemicals such as solvents, perfumes, lacquers, plasticizer, dyes, and photographic chemicals. 
Butanedioic Acid is also used as an antibiotic and curative agent. 
Butanedioic Acid also finds application as a surfactant, ion chelator, and as an additive in various industries.

What is Butanedioic Acid?
Butanedioic Acid, with molecular formulation C4H6O4, is a water-soluble, odorless, colorless crystal with an acid taste that is used as a chemical intermediate, in medicine, the manufacture of lacquers, and to make perfume esters. 
Butanedioic Acid is also used in foods as a sequestrant, buffer, and a neutralizing agent. 
Butanedioic Acid is a normal intermediary metabolite and a constituent of the citric acid cycle, and found naturally in human urine.

How to Use Butanedioic Acid?
Ideally, it’s best to look for Butanedioic Acid in a lightweight serum or treatment; the molecule is too small to be able to effectively penetrate through heavy creams and oils.
Follow product directions when it comes to usage and application, particularly if Butanedioic Acid’s an anti-acne product.

Physical properties of Butanedioic Acid:
Butanedioic Acid is a white, odorless solid with a highly acidic taste.
In an aqueous solution, succinic acid readily ionizes to form its conjugate base, succinate (/ˈsʌksɪneɪt/). 
As a diprotic acid, Butanedioic Acid undergoes two successive deprotonation reactions:
(CH2)2(CO2H)2 → (CH2)2(CO2H)(CO2)− + H+
(CH2)2(CO2H)(CO2)− → (CH2)2(CO2)22− + H+

The pKa of these processes are 4.3 and 5.6, respectively. 
Both anions are colorless and can be isolated as the salts, e.g., Na(CH2)2(CO2H)(CO2) and Na2(CH2)2(CO2)2. 
In living organisms, primarily succinate, not succinic acid, is found.

As a radical group Butanedioic Acid is called a succinyl (/ˈsʌksɪnəl/) group.
Like most simple mono- and dicarboxylic acids, Butanedioic Acid is not harmful but can be an irritant to skin and eyes.

Butanedioic Acid is a dicarboxylic acid. 
Butanedioic Acid is an important component of the citric acid or TCA cycle and is capable of donating electrons to the electron transfer chain. 
Succinate is found in all living organisms ranging from bacteria to plants to mammals. In eukaryotes, succinate is generated in the mitochondria via the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA). 
Succinate can readily be imported into the mitochondrial matrix by the n-butylmalonate- (or phenylsuccinate-) sensitive dicarboxylate carrier in exchange with inorganic phosphate or another organic acid, e. g. malate. 
Succinate can exit the mitochondrial matrix and function in the cytoplasm as well as the extracellular space. 
Succinate has multiple biological roles including roles as a metabolic intermediate and roles as a cell signalling molecule. 

Succinate can alter gene expression patterns, thereby modulating the epigenetic landscape or it can exhibit hormone-like signaling functions. 
As such, succinate links cellular metabolism, especially ATP formation, to the regulation of cellular function. 
Succinate can be broken down or metabolized into fumarate by the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), which is part of the electron transport chain involved in making ATP. 
Dysregulation of succinate synthesis, and therefore ATP synthesis, can happen in a number of genetic mitochondrial diseases, such as Leigh syndrome, and Melas syndrome. 
Succinate has been found to be associated with D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria, which is an inborn error of metabolism. 
Butanedioic Acid has recently been identified as an oncometabolite or an endogenous, cancer causing metabolite.

Commercial production of Butanedioic Acid:
Historically, Butanedioic Acid was obtained from amber by distillation and has thus been known as spirit of amber. 
Common industrial routes include hydrogenation of maleic acid, oxidation of 1,4-butanediol, and carbonylation of ethylene glycol. 
Succinate is also produced from butane via maleic anhydride.
Global production is estimated at 16,000 to 30,000 tons a year, with an annual growth rate of 10%.
Genetically engineered Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae are proposed for the commercial production via fermentation of glucose.

Chemical reactions of Butanedioic Acid:
Butanedioic Acid can be dehydrogenated to fumaric acid or be converted to diesters, such as diethylsuccinate (CH2CO2CH2CH3)2. 
This diethyl ester is a substrate in the Stobbe condensation. 
Dehydration of Butanedioic Acid gives succinic anhydride.
Succinate can be used to derive 1,4-butanediol, maleic anhydride, succinimide, 2-pyrrolidinone and tetrahydrofuran.

Precursor to polymers, resins, and solvents:
Butanedioic Acid is a precursor to some polyesters and a component of some alkyd resins.
1,4-Butanediol (BDO) can be synthesized using succinic acid as a precursor.
The automotive and electronics industries heavily rely on BDO to produce connectors, insulators, wheel covers, gearshift knobs and reinforcing beams.
Butanedioic Acid also serves as the bases of certain biodegradable polymers, which are of interest in tissue engineering applications.
Acylation with succinic acid is called succination. 
Oversuccination occurs when more than one succinate adds to a substrate.

Food and dietary supplement:
As a food additive and dietary supplement, Butanedioic Acid is generally recognized as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Butanedioic Acid is used primarily as an acidity regulator in the food and beverage industry. 
Butanedioic Acid is also available as a flavoring agent, contributing a somewhat sour and astringent component to umami taste.
As an excipient in pharmaceutical products, Butanedioic Acid is also used to control acidity or as a counter ion.
Drugs involving succinate include metoprolol succinate, sumatriptan succinate, Doxylamine succinate or solifenacin succinate. 

Butanedioic Acid is a dicarboxylic acid that occurs naturally in plant and animal tissues. 
Butanedioic Acid is also known as “Spirit of Amber.” 
When Butanedioic Acid was first discovered, it was extracted from amber by pulverizing and distilling it using a sand bath. 
Butanedioic Acid was primarily used externally for rheumatic aches and pains.

Almost infinite esters can be obtained from carboxylic acids. 
Esters are produced by combining an acid with an alcohol and removal of a water molecule. 
Carboxylic acid esters are used in a variety of direct and indirect applications.

Lower chain esters are used as flavoring base materials, plasticizers, solvent carriers and coupling agents. 
Higher chain compounds are used as components in metalworking fluids, surfactants, lubricants, detergents, oiling agents, emulsifiers, wetting agents, textile treatments and emollients.

Esters are also used as intermediates for the manufacture of a variety of target compounds. 
The almost infinite esters provide a wide range of viscosity, specific gravity, vapor pressure, boiling point, and other physical and chemical properties for the proper application selections.

Applications of Butanedioic Acid:
Butanedioic Acid is used as a flavoring agent for food and beverages. 
Producing five heterocyclic compounds, Butanedioic Acid is used as an intermediate for dyes, perfumes, lacquers, photographic chemicals, alkyd resins, plasticizers, metal treatment chemicals, and coatings. 
Butanedioic Acid is also used in the manufacture of medicines for sedatives, antispasmers, antiplegm, antiphogistic, anrhoers, contraceptives, and cancer-curing.

Butanedioic Acid is a colorless crystalline solid with a melting point of 185-187° C. 
Butanedioic Acid is soluble in water, slightly dissolves in ethanol, ether, acetone and glycerine. 
Butanedioic Acid does not dissolve in benzene, carbon sulfide, carbon tetrachloride or oil ether.
Carboxylic acids can yield acyl halides, anhydrides, esters, amides, and nitriles for applications in the drug, agriculture, food products, and other industries.

Biosynthesis of Butanedioic Acid:
Succinate is a key intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, a primary metabolic pathway used to produce chemical energy in the presence of O2. 
Succinyl-CoA + NDP + Pi → Succinate + CoA + NTP
Succinate + FAD → Fumarate + FADH2

SDH also participates in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, where it is known as respiratory complex II. 
This enzyme complex is a 4 subunit membrane-bound lipoprotein which couples the oxidation of succinate to the reduction of ubiquinone via the intermediate electron carriers FAD and three 2Fe-2S clusters. 
Succinate thus serves as a direct electron donor to the electron transport chain, and itself is converted into fumarate.

Succinate can alternatively be formed by reverse activity of SDH. 
Under anaerobic conditions certain bacteria such as A. succinogenes, A. succiniciproducens and M. succiniciproducens, run the TCA cycle in reverse and convert glucose to succinate through the intermediates of oxaloacetate, malate and fumarate.
This pathway is exploited in metabolic engineering to net generate succinate for human use.
Additionally, succinic acid produced during the fermentation of sugar provides a combination of saltiness, bitterness and acidity to fermented alcohols.

Accumulation of fumarate can drive the reverse activity of SDH, thus enhancing succinate generation. 
Under pathological and physiological conditions, the malate-aspartate shuttle or the purine nucleotide shuttle can increase mitochondrial fumarate, which is then readily converted to succinate.

TYPE OF INGREDIENT: Butanedioic Acid is an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory compound.

MAIN BENEFITS: Butanedioic Acid has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and soothing effects. 
Butanedioic Acid offers antioxidant protection as well as anti-aging properties, and hydrates.

WHO SHOULD USE IT: Because Butanedioic Acid has such a variety of benefits, it’s safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin, says Frieling.

HOW OFTEN CAN YOU USE IT: This depends on the particular product, but generally speaking, daily.

Succinate is also a product of the glyoxylate cycle, which converts two two-carbon acetyl units into the four-carbon succinate. 
The glyoxylate cycle is utilized by many bacteria, plants and fungi and allows these organisms to subsist on acetate or acetyl CoA yielding compounds. 
The pathway avoids the decarboxylation steps of the TCA cycle via the enzyme isocitrate lyase which cleaves isocitrate into succinate and glyoxylate. 

Succinate is the re-entry point for the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) shunt into the TCA cycle, a closed cycle which synthesizes and recycles GABA.
The GABA shunt serves as an alternate route to convert alpha-ketoglutarate into succinate, bypassing the TCA cycle intermediate succinyl-CoA and instead producing the intermediate GABA. 
Transamination and subsequent decarboxylation of alpha-ketoglutarate leads to the formation of GABA. GABA is then metabolized by GABA transaminase to succinic semialdehyde. 
Finally, succinic semialdehyde is oxidized by succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (SSADH) to form succinate, re-entering the TCA cycle and closing the loop. 
Enzymes required for the GABA shunt are expressed in neurons, glial cells, macrophages and pancreatic cells.

Cellular metabolism of Butanedioic Acid:
Succinate is produced and concentrated in the mitochondria and its primary biological function is that of a metabolic intermediate.
All metabolic pathways that are interlinked with the TCA cycle, including the metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids, fatty acids, cholesterol, and heme, rely on the temporary formation of succinate.
The intermediate is made available for biosynthetic processes through multiple pathways, including the reductive branch of the TCA cycle or the glyoxylate cycle, which are able to drive net production of succinate.
In rodents, mitochondrial concentrations are approximately ~0.5 mM while plasma concentration are only 2–20 μM.

Mechanism of action:
Succinate is an essential component of the Krebs or citric acid cycle and serves an electron donor in the production of fumaric acid and FADH2. 
Butanedioic Acid also has been shown to be a good “natural” antibiotic because of its relative acidic or caustic nature (high concentrations can even cause burns). 
Succinate supplements have been shown to help reduce the effects of hangovers by activating the degradation of acetaldehyde – a toxic byproduct of alcohol metabolism – into CO2 and H2O through aerobic metabolism. 
Butanedioic Acid has been shown to stimulate neural system recovery and bolster the immune system. 
Claims have also been made that Butanedioic Acid boosts awareness, concentration and reflexes.

Butanedioic Acid is an important chemical and raw material widely used in medicine, food, biodegradable materials, fine chemicals, and other industrial fields. 
However, traditional methods for purifying Butanedioic Acid from fermentation broth are costly, poorly efficient, and harmful to the environment. 
In this study, an efficient method for purifying Butanedioic Acid from the fermentation broth of Escherichia coli NZN111 was developed through crystallization and co-crystallization with urea. 
First, the filtrate was collected by filtering the fermentation broth, and pH was adjusted to 2.0 by supplementing sulfuric acid. 
Crystallization was carried out at 8°C for 4 h to obtain Butanedioic Acid crystals. 
The recovery rate and purity of Butanedioic Acid were 73.4% and over 99%, respectively. 

Then, urea was added to the remaining solution with a mass ratio of urea to residual Butanedioic Acid of 4:1 (murea/mSA). 
The second crystallization was carried out at pH 2 and 4°C for 12 h to obtain Butanedioic Acid-urea co-crystal. 
The recovery rate of Butanedioic Acid residue was 92.0%. 
The Butanedioic Acid-urea crystal was further mixed with phosphorous acid (4.2% of the mass of Butanedioic Acid co-crystal) and maintained at 195°C for 6 h to synthesize succinimide, and the yield was >80%. 
This novel and efficient purification process was characterized by the significantly reduced urea consumption, and high Butanedioic Acid recovery (totally 95%), and high succinimide synthesis yield (80%). 
Thus, this study potentially provided a novel and efficient strategy for the industrial production of Butanedioic Acid and succinimide.

Butanedioic Acid is a precursor of many important, large-volume industrial chemicals and consumer products. 
Butanedioic Acid was once common knowledge that many ruminant microorganisms accumulated succinic acid under anaerobic conditions. 
However, Butanedioic Acid was not until the discovery of Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens at the Michigan Biotechnology Institute (MBI), which was capable of producing succinic acid up to about 50 g/L under optimum conditions, that the commercial feasibility of producing the compound by biological processes was realized. 
Other microbial strains capable of producing Butanedioic Acid to high final concentrations subsequently were isolated and engineered, followed by development of fermentation processes for their uses. 
Processes for recovery and purification of Butanedioic Acid from fermentation broths were simultaneously established along with new applications of succinic acid, e.g., production of biodegradable deicing compounds and solvents. 
Several technologies for the fermentation-based production of Butanedioic Acid and the subsequent conversion to useful products are currently commercialized. 
This review gives a summary of the development of microbial strains, their fermentation, and the importance of the down-stream recovery and purification efforts to suit various applications in the context of their current commercialization status for biologically derived succinic acid.
