Description
Succinic acid is a dicarboxylic acid with the chemical formula (CH2)2(CO2H)2. In living organisms, succinic 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.
Succinate is generated in mitochondria via the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Succinate 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, succinate links cellular metabolism, especially ATP formation, to the regulation of cellular function.
Dysregulation of succinate 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.
Succinic acid is marketed as food additive E363. The name derives from Latin succinum, meaning amber.

Uses
Succinic acid is a versatile dicarboxylic acid that finds applications in various fields, from industrial manufacturing to food and medicine, due to its biodegradability and nontoxicity. Here are some of its primary uses:
Food and Beverages In the food industry, succinic acid serves as an acidity regulator and flavor enhancer. It is used in a variety of products, including beverages, confectionery, and dairy products, to balance flavor and extend shelf life.
Pharmaceuticals Succinic acid has several medicinal applications. It's used in the formulation of some drugs and as an excipient in pharmaceuticals for its buffering and neutralizing properties. It's also been studied for its potential therapeutic effects, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities.
Cosmetics and Personal Care In cosmetics, succinic acid is used for its antimicrobial properties and as a pH adjuster. It can be found in products like creams, lotions, and anti-acne treatments.
Agriculture Succinic acid is used as a feed additive for livestock and as a component in some plant fertilizers to improve efficiency and nutrient absorption.
Energy Sector Research is ongoing into the use of succinic acid in the production of solvents, surfactants, and diesel fuel additives, showcasing its potential in renewable energy technologies.
Chemical Industry Succinic acid is used as a precursor for the synthesis of many derivatives and fine chemicals, including 1,4-butanediol (BDO), which is a key component in producing polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) plastics and polyurethanes.
Bioplastics One of the most promising applications of succinic acid is in the production of biodegradable plastics. Polymers made from succinic acid, such as polybutylene succinate (PBS), are environmentally friendly alternatives to petroleum-based plastics.
