Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethylarsonate
DescriptionMethylarsonate, also known as MAA or measo(OH)2, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pentaorganoarsanes. These are organoarsenic compounds containing an arsenic compound that is pentasubstituted by only organic groups. In humans, methylarsonate is involved in the arsenate detoxification pathway. Methylarsonate has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make methylarsonate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Methylarsonate is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Methylarsonate.
