Metabolite Identification
Common Nameaminomethylphosphonic acid
DescriptionAminomethylphosphonic acid is a phosphonic acid derivative and a key metabolite of glyphosate, widely recognized for its persistence in the environment, particularly in soil and water. Its chemical structure features an aminomethyl group attached to a phosphonic acid moiety, which contributes to its stability and resistance to degradation. Following the application of glyphosate herbicides, a significant portion degrades into aminomethylphosphonic acid, which is notably more persistent than glyphosate itself (PMID:40914222 ). In biological contexts, aminomethylphosphonic acid has been linked to various metabolic pathways, including associations with DNA damage biomarkers in rural populations exposed to glyphosate (PMID:40974630 ). Studies have also explored the effects of aminomethylphosphonic acid on liver metabolomics in hatchlings of invasive turtles, indicating potential impacts on embryonic development (PMID:40848207 ). Furthermore, advancements in analytical methods have enabled the detection of aminomethylphosphonic acid in environmental samples, underscoring its relevance in ecological studies (PMID:40784480 ). As a dual-functional molecule, it has also been utilized in interface engineering strategies to influence charge transport and crystallization dynamics (PMID:40762028 ).
