Common NameAlpha-ketoisovaleric acid
Descriptionalpha-Ketoisovaleric acid, also known as a-keto-isovalerate or 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as short-chain keto acids and derivatives. These are keto acids with an alkyl chain the contains less than 6 carbon atoms. alpha-Ketoisovaleric acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. alpha-Ketoisovaleric acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. alpha-Ketoisovaleric acid is a fruity tasting compound. Outside of the human body, alpha-Ketoisovaleric acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as root vegetables, jerusalem artichokes, rapinis, chia, and cowpea. This could make alpha-ketoisovaleric acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. alpha-Ketoisovaleric acid is a potentially toxic compound. alpha-Ketoisovaleric acid, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with the diseases such as colorectal cancer; alpha-ketoisovaleric acid has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder maple syrup urine disease. A 2-oxo monocarboxylic acid that is the 2-oxo derivative of isovaleric acid.
