Ethylmalonic acid-d3 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of ethylmalonic acid by GC- or LC-MS. Ethylmalonic acid is a dicarboxylic acid and metabolite of the essential amino acid L-isoleucine and branched-chain amino acid L-alloisoleucine (Item No. 34904).1 It is formed from L-isoleucine and L-alloisoleucine via an R-2-oxo-3-methylvaleric acid intermediate. Urinary levels of ethylmalonic acid are increased in patients with ethylmalonic encephalopathy, an inborn error of metabolism characterized by developmental delay, hypotonia, vascular instability, petechiae, acrocyanosis, chronic diarrhea, and lactic acidemia. Urinary levels of ethylmalonic acid are also increased in patients with short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.2
