Common NameMalonic acid
DescriptionMalonic acid, also known as malonate or H2MALO, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dicarboxylic acids and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing exactly two carboxylic acid groups. Malonic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Malonic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, malonic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, malonic acid and acetic acid can be converted into acetoacetic acid; which is mediated by the enzyme fatty acid synthase. Beta ketoacyl synthase domain. In addition, malonic acid and coenzyme A can be biosynthesized from malonyl-CoA through its interaction with the enzyme fatty acid synthase. malonyl/acetyl transferase domain. An Malonic acid in which the two carboxy groups are separated by a single methylene group. In humans, malonic acid is involved in fatty acid biosynthesis. Outside of the human body, Malonic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as red beetroots, corns, scarlet beans, common beets, and cow milks. This could make malonic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Malonic acid, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as eosinophilic esophagitis, combined malonic and methylmalonic aciduria, and early preeclampsia; malonic acid has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder malonyl-coa decarboxylase deficiency.
