Metabolite Identification
Common Namecis-2-Methylaconitate
Descriptioncis-2-Methylaconitate, also known as alpha-methylaconitate or a-methylaconitic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tricarboxylic acids and derivatives. These are carboxylic acids containing exactly three carboxyl groups. cis-2-Methylaconitate exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. cis-2-Methylaconitate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as green tea, allia (Allium), wheats (Triticum), yellow bell peppers (Capsicum annuum), and ceylon cinnamons (Cinnamomum verum). This could make cis-2-methylaconitate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. cis-2-Methylaconitate is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on cis-2-Methylaconitate.
