Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Methylpentane
Description2-Methylpentane belongs to the class of organic compounds known as branched alkanes. These are acyclic branched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2. 2-Methylpentane is possibly neutral. 2-Methylpentane is a potentially toxic compound. It causes degeneration of the peripheral nervous system (and eventually the central nervous system), starting with damage to the nerve axons. It is distributed throughout the body in the blood, and metabolized by mixed function oxidases in the liver to a number of metabolites.
