Natural Product Identification
Common Name3-(Methylthio)propionic acid
Description3-Methylthiopropionic acid, also known as 3-(methylsulfanyl)propanoate or 3-methylthiopropanoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as straight chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with a straight aliphatic chain. 3-Methylthiopropionic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 3-(Methylthio)propionic acid is found in Trypanosoma brucei and Xanthomonas campestris manihotis. 3-(Methylthio)propionic acid was first documented in 1978 (PMID: 100496). 3-Methylthiopropionic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans (PMID: 3997054) (PMID: 3589145).
