Metabolite Identification
Common Name1,2,3-Trihydroxybenzene
Description1,2,3-Trihydroxybenzene, also known as pyrogallic acid or 1,2,3-benzenetriol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 5-unsubstituted pyrrogallols. These are pyrrogallols that are unsubstituted at th5-position of the benzene ring. 1,2,3-Trihydroxybenzene is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as robusta coffees (Coffea canephora), coffees (Coffea), and arabica coffees (Coffea arabica) and in a lower concentration in cocoa powder and beer. 1,2,3-Trihydroxybenzene has also been detected, but not quantified in, eggplants (Solanum melongena). This could make 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 1,2,3-Trihydroxybenzene 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 a significant number of articles have been published on 1,2,3-Trihydroxybenzene.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in transferase activity, transferring hexosyl groups
Specific function:
UDPGT is of major importance in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. This isoform glucuronidates bilirubin IX-alpha to form both the IX-alpha-C8 and IX-alpha-C12 monoconjugates and diconjugate. Is also able to catalyze the glucuronidation of 17beta-estradiol, 17alpha-ethinylestradiol, 1-hydroxypyrene, 4-methylumbelliferone, 1-naphthol, paranitrophenol, scopoletin, and umbelliferone.
