General description

Methylmalonic acid, a malonic acid derivative, is a vital intermediate in the metabolism of fat and proteins and plays a key role in energy metabolism. Elevated methylmalonic acid levels can be caused by an inborn error of metabolism leading to methylmalonic aciduria or indicate early vitamin B<sub>12</sub> deficiency. This internal standard is suitable for quantitation of methylmalonic acid levels by LC/MS or GC/MS in newborn screening and clinical testing applications to test for methylmalonic acidemia and diagnose vitamin B<sub>12</sub> deficiency.

Application



  • Assessment of Vitamin B-12 Status: Methyl-D3-malonic acid, as a deuterated derivative of malonic acid, was highlighted for its application in quantifying vitamin B-12 status using dried blood spots. This method provides a stable, precise measure and is useful in nutritional research and clinical diagnostics (Schroder et al., 2014).


  • Improvement of Analytical Methods: Methyl-D3-malonic acid was used in a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique to quantify methylmalonic acid in serum. This application underlines its role in improving diagnostic assays by offering enhanced precision and reliability in biochemical measurements (Straczek et al., 1993).
