CAS Number: 624-95-3
Linear Formula: (CH3)3CCH2CH2OH
Molecular Weight: 102.1
IUPAC Name: 3,3-Dimethylbutan-1-ol
Other Names: 3,3-Dimethyl-1-butanol, DMB
DMB inhibits microbial trimethylamine (TMA) formation in mice and in human feces, thereby reducing plasma trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) levels after choline or carnitine supplementation.
It consequently inhibited choline-enhanced endogenous macrophage foam cell formation and atherosclerotic lesion development in mice without alterations in circulating cholesterol levels.
