Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Methylbenzimidazole
Description2-Methylbenzimidazole, also known as 2-MBIA, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzimidazoles. These are organic compounds containing a benzene ring fused to an imidazole ring (five member ring containing a nitrogen atom, 4 carbon atoms, and two double bonds). Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 2-Methylbenzimidazole. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). 2-methylbenzimidazole is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically 2-Methylbenzimidazole is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
