beta-Nitropropionic acid (aka 3-nitropropanoic acid, BPA, 3-NPA, C3H5NO4) is a mycotoxin, a potent mitochondrial inhibitor,[1] toxic to humans. It is produced by a number of fungi, and found widely in food, in sugar cane, as well as Japanese fungally fermented staples miso, soy sauce, and katsuobushi.,[2] as well as in Traditional Chinese Medicine.[3]
