Propionyl coenzyme A lithium 

Propionyl coenzyme A lithium, a coenzyme A derivative of propionic acid, is an important metabolic intermediate formed by the thioester bond between coenzyme A and propionic acid. The breakdown and production of Propionyl coenzyme A lithim is important for the metabolism of organisms^[1][2].

Propionyl coenzyme A lithium causes toxic effects due to its accumulation and the impact of its metabolism on cell wall synthesis and maintenance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis^[1].
Propionyl coenzyme A lithium can be converted to β-hydroxypropionic acid via a peroxisomal enzyme-modified β-oxidation pathway in Arabidopsis^[2].
Propionyl coenzyme A lithium causes the formation of propionic acidemia due to its abnormal accumulation, which often occurs in the neonatal developmental stage^[3].
