3-METHYL-2-OXOVALERIC ACID Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

3-Methyl-2-oxovaleric acid is a degradation product from Isoleucine. 3-Methyl-2-oxovaleric acid is a biomarker of mustard airway diseases (MADs) and uric acid stone[1][2].

Definition

ChEBI: A 2-oxo monocarboxylic acid that is valeric acid carrying oxo- and methyl substituents at C-2 and C-3, respectively. An alpha-keto acid analogue and metabolite of isoleucine in man, animals and bacteria. Used as a clinical marker for maple syrup urine disease (MSUD).

Synthesis Reference(s)

The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 39, p. 600, 1974 DOI: 10.1021/jo00919a004

in vivo

In uric acid stone urinary environment, the levels of 3-Methyl-2-oxovaleric acid is elevated [2].

IC 50

Human Endogenous Metabolite
