Metabolite Identification
Common NameAlizarin
DescriptionAlizarin, also known as alizarin red or Az, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxyanthraquinones. Hydroxyanthraquinones are compounds containing a hydroxyanthraquinone moiety, which consists of an anthracene bearing a quinone, and hydroxyl group. Alizarin is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Alizarin. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Alizarin is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Alizarin 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.
