Metabolite Identification
Common Name2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2,5-cyclohexadienone
Description2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2,5-cyclohexadienone, also known as BHT-quinol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monocyclic monoterpenoids. These are monoterpenoids containing 1 ring in the isoprene chain. BHT-quinol is a metabolite of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHA), a synthetic phenolic antioxidant (SPA). SPAs are a family of chemicals used widely in foods, polymers, and cosmetics as radical trapping agents to slow down degradation due to oxidation. Given their widespread use, human exposure is unavoidable and there is public concern regarding environmental contamination by these chemicals. BHT-quinol was detected in human urine (PMID: 31265952 ).
