Metabolite Identification
Common NameBuformin
DescriptionBuformin, also known as 1-butylbiguanide or glybigid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as biguanides. These are organic compounds containing two N-linked guanidines. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Buformin. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Buformin is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Buformin 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.
