methyl-branched

3-Methyl-2-oxobutanoic acid (2-Oxoisovaleric acid) is an abnormal metabolite that arises from the incomplete breakdown of branched-chain amino acids. 3-Methyl-2-oxobutanoic acid is a neurotoxin, an acidogen, and a metabotoxin. A neurotoxin causes damage to nerve cells and nerve tissues. 3-Methyl-2-oxobutanoic acid is a keto-acid, which is a subclass of organic acids. Abnormally high levels of organic acids in the blood (organic acidemia), urine (organic aciduria), the brain, and other tissues lead to general metabolic acidosis.

2-Methyl-4-pentenoic Acid (2-Methylpent-4-enoic acid) is a branched-chain fatty acid.

3,3-Dimethylglutaric acid (3,3-Dimethylpentanedioate) is a compound found in human urine.

3-Methyl-2-oxovaleric acid is an abnormal metabolite from the incomplete breakdown of branched-chain amino acids. It acts as a neurotoxin, acidogen, and metabotoxin, with the potential to cause nerve cell damage and various metabolic disturbances.

2,2-Dimethylsuccinic acid [2,2-dimethylbutanedioic acid] is an organic compound that belongs to the class of substituted dicarboxylic acids. Known for its application in various synthesis processes, it typically occurs as colorless crystals or a white powder. This compound's molecular structure consists of a butane backbone with two methyl groups attached at the second carbon position and carboxyl groups at the terminal carbons. With a molecular formula of C6H10O4, it exhibits properties such as a melting point of 210-212°C and is soluble in water, ethanol, and ether.
