Metabolite Identification
Common Name4-Nitrocatechol
Description4-Nitrocatechol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as nitrophenols. Nitrophenols are compounds containing a nitrophenol moiety, which consists of a benzene ring bearing both a hydroxyl group and a nitro group on two different ring carbon atoms. 4-Nitrocatechol exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 4-Nitrocatechol has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make 4-nitrocatechol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 4-Nitrocatechol is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 4-Nitrocatechol.
