Abstract

A method is described for quantification of the trace metabolite, 3-methylglutaconic acid, by isotope-dilution gas chromatography/mass spectrometry using synthetic 3-[2,4,6-13C3] methylglutaconic acid. Results are shown for quantification of 3-methylglutaconic acid in plasma, urine, cerebrospinal fluid and amniotic fluid for both normal controls and patients with different forms of 3-methylglutaconic aciduria. A simple method for the synthesis and purification of 3-[2,4,6-13C3]methylglutaconic acid is also described.
