Metabolite Identification
Common NameBenznidazole
DescriptionBenznidazole, also known as radanil or rochagan, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as nitroaromatic compounds. These are c-nitro compounds where the nitro group is C-substituted with an aromatic group. Benznidazole is a drug which is used for use in the treatment of chagas disease in children 2-12 years of age [l939]. Benznidazole is a strong basic compound (based on its pKa). A monocarboxylic acid amide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of (2-nitroimidazol-1-yl)acetic acid with the aromatic amino group of benzylamine. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Benznidazole is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Benznidazole 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.
