Application
(RS)-(Methylenecyclopropyl)acetic acid (MCPA), an inhibitor of multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase enzymes, is derived from hypoglycin A metabolism. MCPA forms non-metabolizable carnitine and coenzyme A (CoA) esters thereby depressing tissue levels of these cofactors and making them less available for other biochemical reactions. (RS)-(Methylenecyclopropyl)acetic acid may be used as a reference material during the analysis of MCPA.
Hypoglycin A is metabolized by means of transamination and oxidative decarboxylation to methylene cyclopropyl acetic acid (MCPA). MCPA forms nonmetabolizable carnitine and coenzyme A (CoA) esters, thereby depressing tissue levels of these cofactors and making them less available for other biochemical reactions.

To study the structure-activity relationship between pentanoic acid analogues and the inhibition of fatty acid oxidation, a number of 4-pentenoic and methylenecyclopropaneacetic acid derivatives were prepared. All compounds inhibited palmitoylcarnitine oxidation in rat liver mitochondria, with 50% inhibition occurring at
