Methylsuccinic acid (CAS 498-21-5)
QUICK LINKS
Methylsuccinic acid (MSA) is an organic acid, specifically a derivative of succinic acid. It presents itself as a white crystalline solid at room temperature and exhibits solubility in both water and alcohol. Methylsuccinic acid plays a role as an intermediate in the creation of a variety of compounds, such as dyes and fragrances. Moreover, it is utilized in the production of food additives, acting as a preservative and flavoring agent. Methylsuccinic acid has been a point of focus in research related to potential applications in fields such as biochemistry and physiology. It has been explored for its inhibitory effects on enzymes involved in metabolic pathways. Specifically, it has been found to inhibit the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase, a key player in the citric acid cycle, and the enzyme fumarase, which participates in the metabolism of fumaric acid. Methylsuccinic acid has also been inspected for its potential role in the regulation of cell growth and development.
