Metabolite Identification
Common NameIminodiacetate
DescriptionIminodiacetic acid (IDA) is a dicarboxylic acid amine. It is a strongly acidic compound that is very water soluble. It naturally exists as a white powder. IDA is food by-product or intermediate produced via the reaction of glycine with acrylamide through the heating, baking or frying of carbohydrate-rich foods such as potatoes (PMID: 25212154 ).  Acrylamide is typically produced through a Maillard reaction (a heating reaction) of asparagine and various reducing sugars in plant-derived foods (PMID: 12368844 ). Concentrations of IDA are reduced in the plasma of individuals with autism (PMID: 33087514 ) and elevated in individuals with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (PMID: 30779905 ). In addition to its role in metabolism, IDA has many industrial applications or roles. For instance, it is an important intermediate in the manufacture the herbicide glyphosate. IDA is also used in capillary electrophoresis for modulating peptide mobility and can be used as a precursor for the manufacture of the indicator xylenol orange. The iminodiacetate anion can act as a tridentate ligand to form a metal complex with two, fused, five membered chelate rings. The proton on the nitrogen atom can be replaced by a carbon atom of a polymer to create an ion-exchange resin, such as chelex 100. Iminodiacetic acid is used in HIDA (hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid) scans or cholescintigraphy scans, that employ the radionuclide Technetium 99m, to diagnose several diseases in the liver, gallbladder and bile duct.
