Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureOral, dermal, inhalation, and parenteral (contaminated drugs). (6)
Mechanism of Toxicity3-Nitropropionic acid is a suicide inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase, an enzyme required for the activity of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle as well as mitochondrial respiratory complex II of the electron transport chain. It forms a covalent adduct with the side chain of Arg297, inactivating the succinate dehydrogenase. This affects neurons by leading to NMDA-receptor activation, excessive calcium influx, and formation of reactive oxygen species, eventually causing neuronal cell death. (1, 2)
MetabolismNot Available
Toxicity ValuesNot Available
Lethal DoseNot Available
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC).
Uses/Sources3-Nitropropionic acid is a neurotoxin produced by certain plants and fungi, such as those of the genus Astragalus, Coronilla, Lotus, Hippocrepis, Scorpiurus, and Securigera. It produces symptoms similar to that of Huntington disease and this thus often used to produced animal models for the study of the disease. (1, 2, 4)
Minimum Risk LevelNot Available
Health Effects3-Nitropropionic acid causes neurodegeneration, particularity of the striatum, though also in the hippocampus and thalamus. (1, 5)
Symptoms3-Nitropropionic acid causes symptoms similar to that of Huntington disease: motor and cognitive dysfunction that includes convulsions, dystonia, and hypokinesia. (1, 3, 5)
