Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol
Description2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol, also known as 4-hydroxy-3-methoxystyrene or 4-vinylguaiacol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety. 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to plants to humans. 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol is a clove, curry, and peanut tasting compound. 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as wild carrots (Daucus carota), carrots (Daucus carota ssp. sativus), and red wine and in a lower concentration in arabica coffees (Coffea arabica), kohlrabis (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes), and beer. 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as oats (Avena sativa), tortilla, asparagus (Asparagus officinalis), spearmints (Mentha spicata), and tortilla chip. This could make 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol 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 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol.

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.
