On the toxicity of malonic acid
Malonic acid is also a toxic substance. It can harm all kinds of physiological functions in the living body.

According to the theory of biochemistry, malonic acid can disturb the tricarboxylic acid cycle. This cycle is also the key to the energy supply of biological metabolism. The structure of malonic acid is similar to that of succinic acid, so it can be combined with the activity check point of succinate dehydrogenase, and the affinity is quite strong. In this way, the activity of succinate dehydrogenase is inhibited by it, and the tricarboxylic acid cycle is difficult to flow smoothly, resulting in energy generation being blocked. The cell lacks energy, and everything is at risk.

Try its signs to the organism. In the animal body, it may cause fatigue, fatigue, and even damage to the function of organs. Insufficient energy generation, organs cannot be fully charged to perform their duties. The central nervous system requires more energy, and malonic acid is toxic or causes lethargy and slow thinking. In plants, there are also various harmful symptoms. The growth of plants depends on energy metabolism to promote their development. Malonic acid hinders the production of energy, or makes plants short and leaves yellow, which hinders photosynthesis, and then affects the survival and reproduction of plants.

Furthermore, the toxicity of malonic acid is also implicated in the ecology. If it is present in the environment, after biological ingestion, toxicity is transmitted along the food chain. Although the first food containing malonic acid is slightly toxic, it accumulates through the food chain layer by layer, causing severe damage to high-level predators and disrupting the ecological balance.

Therefore, the toxicity of malonic acid cannot be ignored in individual organisms and ecosystems. It is urgent to understand its toxicity mechanism and detect its hazard characteristics in order to prevent its harm, maintain biological safety and ecological stability.
