In contrast, MCPA inhibited both MCAD and short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase with a stronger inhibition toward the latter.

Inactivation of five distinct acyl-CoA dehydrogenases by (methylenecyclopropyl) acetyl-CoA (MCPA-CoA), the toxic metabolite of hypoglycin from unripe ackee fruit, was investigated using purified enzyme preparations.

To examine the changes in coenzyme A profile and the possible corrective effects of carnitine supplementation in the genetic disorders of mitochondrial beta-oxidation, we carried out experiments using an inhibitor of multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase enzymes, methylenecyclopropaneacetic acid (MCPA), in rat hepatocytes.
