Metabolite Identification
Common NameIsopentane
DescriptionIsopentane, also known as (CH3)2ch-CH2-CH3 or iso-C5H12, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as branched alkanes. These are acyclic branched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2. Isopentane is possibly neutral. Isopentane is a potentially toxic compound. The main metabolite is 2-pentanol, followed by 3-pentanol, and 2-pentanone. It affects the peripheral nervous system through demyelinization and axonal degeneration. Treatment is mainly symptomatic and supportive. Gastric lavage, emesis, and the administration of activated charcoal should be avoided, as vomiting increases the risk of aspiration. Ingestion may cause pulmonary toxicity due to pentane aspiration, including chemical pneumonitis, acute lung injury, and hemorrhage. Cardiovascular effects may include ventricular dysrhythmias and sudden death. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Isopentane is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Isopentane 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.
