Metabolite Identification
Common Name3,4-Dihydroxy-5-[(S)-1,2-dihydroxyethyl]furan-2(5H)-one
DescriptionAscorbic acid, also known as ascorbate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as butenolides. These are dihydrofurans with a carbonyl group at the C2 carbon atom. In humans, ascorbic acid is involved in the metabolic disorder called tyrosinemia type I. Ascorbic acid is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as broccolis (Brassica oleracea var. italica), nanking cherries (Prunus tomentosa), and milk (cow). Ascorbic acid has also been detected, but not quantified in, grape wine and lettuces (Lactuca sativa). This could make ascorbic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Ascorbic acid 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 very few articles have been published on Ascorbic acid. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). 3,4-dihydroxy-5-[(s)-1,2-dihydroxyethyl]furan-2(5h)-one is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically 3,4-Dihydroxy-5-[(S)-1,2-dihydroxyethyl]furan-2(5H)-one 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.
