Metabolite Identification
Common Name2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene
Description2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene, also known as TNT or trinitrotoluen, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as nitrobenzenes. Nitrobenzenes are compounds containing a nitrobenzene moiety, which consists of a benzene ring with a carbon bearing a nitro group. 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as teas (Camellia sinensis), red onion, lingonberries (Vaccinium vitis-idaea), yellow pond-lilies (Nuphar lutea), and poppies (Papaver). This could make 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene 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 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene 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.
