| 3-methylcholanthrene |
a highly carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon synthesized by pyrolytic degradation of cholic acid, deoxycholic acid, or cholesterol. It is a procarcinogen that requires metabolic activation to exert a mutagenic effect and is widely used in laboratory studies of chemical carcinogenesis. Abbreviated MCA.

| 3-methylcrotonyl CoA carboxylase deficiency |
an autosomal recessive aminoacidopathy due to deficiency of methylcrotonoyl-CoA carboxylase, characterized by increased urine levels of 3-methylcrotonylglycine, 3-methylcrotonic acid, and 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid and variable presentation of mental retardation, central nervous system dysfunction, and muscular atrophy. Written also β-methylcrotonyl CoA carboxylase deficiency.

| 3-methylcrotonylglycine |
a conjugate of 3-methylcrotonic acid and glycine, formed and excreted in excess in the urine when 3-methylcrotonoyl-CoA carboxylase activity is impaired.
