Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethylsuccinic acid
DescriptionMethylsuccinic acid, also known as methylsuccinate or 2-methylbutanedioate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methyl-branched fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an acyl chain that has a methyl branch. Usually, they are saturated and contain only one or more methyl group. However, branches other than methyl may be present. Methylsuccinic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Methylsuccinic acid is a potentially toxic compound.
