Octanoyl coenzyme A lithium salt hydrate is the lithium salt form of octanoyl-coenzyme A, a medium-chain fatty acyl-coenzyme A used in biochemical and enzymology research. It serves as an acyl donor for peptide modification and is reported to inhibit citrate synthase and glutamate dehydrogenase, making it useful for studies of fatty-acyl-CoA metabolism and enzyme regulation.
