Common NameAsparagusic acid
DescriptionAsparagusic acid, also known as asparagusate or AACOCF3, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 1,2-dithiolane-4-carboxylic acids. These are organic compounds containing a 1,2-dithiolane ring that bears a carboxylic acid group at the 4-position. Asparagusic acid is a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Asparagusic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, Asparagusic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, asparagus and green vegetables. This could make asparagusic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Small-scale studies noted that the "asparagus urine" odour was not produced by all individuals and estimates as to the proportion of the population who are excretors (reporting a noticeable asparagus urine odour after eating asparagus) has ranged from about 40% to as high as 79% In a 91 subject population study 82 participants (90%) reported "asparagus urine" odour. The (R)-(+)-enantiomer of α-lipoic acid is a cofactor in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and is essential for aerobic metabolism. Biosynthetic studies revealed that asparagusic acid is derived from isobutyric acid. More recent research has attributed the odour to a mixture of sulfur-containing metabolites of asparagusic acid which have been detected in urine; these include methanethiol and span at least seven distinct functional groups, as shown in the table below. Similar transformations of asparagusic acid would lead to metabolites like this detected in asparagus urine. The molecule consists of a heterocyclic disulfide functional group (a 1,2-dithiolane) with a carboxylic acid side chain. In the small minority of people who do not produce these metabolites after consuming asparagus, the reason may be as simple as asparagusic acid not being taken into the body from the digestive tract or that these individuals metabolise it in such a way as to minimise the release of volatile sulfur-containing products.
