Description and Uses

Methylsuccinic acid is a normal metabolite found in human fluids and is an intermediate metabolite in the breakdown of fatty acids. Increased urinary levels of methylsuccinic acid (together with ethylmalonic acid) are the main biochemical measurable features in ethylmalonic encephalopathy.

Methylsuccinic acid is used as a flux material and an important dyestuff intermediate. It is also used as an intermediate in medicine and pharmaceuticals.
