3-(Methylthio)propionaldehyde (MTPA) is a hydroxy methyl fatty acid that is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of ethyl decanoate. MTPA has been shown to be toxic at high doses, with death occurring in rats after a single oral dose of 30 mg/kg. The toxicity of MTPA may be due to its reactive nature and ability to form acrolein and malondialdehyde, which are known to have cytotoxic effects on cells. 3-(Methylthio)propionaldehyde can also inhibit microbial metabolism by inhibiting microbial growth and decreasing microbial activity. This inhibition is mediated by the inhibition of enzymes such as fatty acid synthase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase. 3-(Methylthio)propionaldehyde also inhibits the production of ATP in bacteria, leading to cell death.
