4482 2-Methylcitric acid 2-Methylcitric acid is an endogenous organic compound with the formula C7H10O7 and an average molecular weight of 206.15 g/mol. It exists as a solid at room temperature. 2-Methylcitric acid belongs to the tricarboxylic acids and derivatives, a subclass of carboxylic acids and derivatives within the organic compounds. The compound is found in or released from six recorded sources. These include household cleaning and consumer products, specifically soap detergents, perfumes within detergents and soaps, and tobacco smoke filters. It is also associated with electrical and electronic equipment, such as hybrid capacitors and electrodes, as well as food preservation within food, food processing and cookware. In a clinical context, 2-methylcitric acid is elevated in the body fluids of patients with multiple carboxylase deficiency, methylmalonic aciduria, and propionic acidaemia. It is formed by the enzyme si-citrate synthase through the condensation of oxalacetate and accumulated propionyl-CoA. The molecule contains two stereogenic centers, allowing for the existence of four stereoisomers; however, only the (2S, 3S) and (2R, 3S) stereoisomers have been identified in human urine. 6061-96-7 515 C7H10O7 White powder. No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC). This is an endogenously produced metabolite found in the human body. It is used in metabolic reactions, catabolic reactions or waste generation. 2014-08-29T06:51:14Z 2026-04-06T13:58:54Z 30835 true CC(C(O)=O)C(O)(CC(O)=O)C(O)=O C7H10O7 InChI=1S/C7H10O7/c1-3(5(10)11)7(14,6(12)13)2-4(8)9/h3,14H,2H2,1H3,(H,8,9)(H,10,11)(H,12,13) YNOXCRMFGMSKIJ-UHFFFAOYSA-N 206.1501 206.042652674 Endogenous Solid HMDB00379 500 Ewering, Christian; Braemer, Christian Oliver; Steinbuechel, Alexander.
