Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethylcyclopentane
DescriptionMethylcyclopentane, also known as methylpentamethylene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cycloalkanes. These are saturated monocyclic hydrocarbons (with or without side chains). Methylcyclopentane has been detected, but not quantified, in celeriacs and celery stalks. This could make methylcyclopentane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. At high amounts methylcyclopentane is a potentially toxic compound and central nervous system depression may occur, with symptoms such as weakness, dizziness, slow and shallow respiration, unconsciousness, and convulsions. Methylcyclopentane is a volatile component of petroleum distillates. Petroleum distillates are aspiration hazards and may cause pulmonary damage, central nervous system depression, and cardiac effects such as cardiac arrhythmias. They may also affect the blood, immune system, liver, and kidney. Volatile hydrocarbons are absorbed mainly through the lungs, and may also enter the body after ingestion via aspiration. Treatment is mainly symptomatic and supportive. Petroleum distillates are also irritating to the skin. Petroleum distillate poisoning may cause nausea, vomiting, cough, pulmonary irritation progressing to pulmonary edema, bloody sputum, and bronchial pneumonia. Gastric lavage, emesis, and the administration of activated charcoal should be avoided, as vomiting increases the risk of aspiration.
