BD-AcAc 2 (Ketone Ester) is a ketone monoester and can be used as a source of oral nutritional ketones. BD-AcAc 2 can elevate plasma levels of acetoacetate and β-hydroxybutyrate, blood Na+, blood glucose levels and blood creatinine levels after oral administration in mice. BD-AcAc 2 can partly prevent muscle weakness in septic mice. BD-AcAc 2 exhibits potential to improve endurance and exercise performance in animal body. BD-AcAc 2 can also be used to research diabetes or Parkinson’s disease.

BD-AcAc(2)能延迟在高压氧环境下(HBO(2))呼吸的大鼠CNS-OT抽搐。成年雄性大鼠(60只)植入无线电遥测装置以记录脑电图(EEG)。术后一周，大鼠口服单剂BD-AcAc(2)、1,3-丁二醇(BD)或水，30分钟后置于高压氧舱内压力调至5大气绝对值(ATA) [1]。从症状未发作的年龄开始，两组3xTgAD雄性小鼠分别喂食含生理对映体前体的酮体(KET)饮食或等热量的碳水化合物饮食。行为测试（测试起始于饮食后4个和7个月）结果显示，KET饲养的小鼠在两种不同的测试中明显减少了焦虑。KET饮食的3xTgAD小鼠还在学习记忆测试中表现出显著。免疫组化分析揭示，KET饲养的小鼠在海马的下回、CA1区域、CA3区域和杏仁体中Aβ沉积减少[2]。
