Metabolite Identification
Common NameParathion
DescriptionParathion, also known as diethyl parathion or thiophos, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenyl thiophosphates. These are organothiophosphorus compounds that contain a thiophosphoric acid O-esterified with a phenyl group. Parathion is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Parathion exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, Parathion has been detected, but not quantified in, asparagus. This could make parathion a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. "E" stands for Entwicklungsnummer (German for "development number"). It was originally developed by IG Farben in the 1940s. Parathion is a potentially toxic compound. It is commonly distributed as a brown liquid that smells of rotting eggs or garlic.
